deroff

deroff [options] [files]

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

Options

-mm

Suppress text that appears on macro lines (i.e., paragraphs will 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.)

-w

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