deroff

deroff [options ] [files ]

Remove all nroff /troff requests and macros, backslash escape sequences, and tbl and eqn constructs from the named files .

Options

-i

Ignore .so and .nx requests. Solaris only.

-mm

Suppress text that appears on mm macro lines (i.e., paragraphs print but headings might be stripped).

-ml

Same as -mm , but also deletes lists created by mm macros; e.g., .BL /.LE , .VL /.LE constructs. (Nested lists are handled poorly.)

-ms

Suppress text that appears on ms macro lines (i.e., paragraphs print but headings might be stripped). Solaris only.

-w

Output the text as a list, one word per line. See also the example under xargs .
