 NAME     
 |  |  |  | deroff, delatex – remove formatting requests 
 | 
 SYNOPSIS     
 |  |  |  | deroff [ option ... ] file ... 
    
    
    delatex file 
 | 
 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | Deroff reads each file in sequence and removes all nroff and troff(1)
    requests and non-text arguments, backslash constructions, and
    constructs of preprocessors such as eqn(1), pic(1), and tbl(1).
    Remaining text is written on the standard output. Deroff follows
    files included by .so and .nx commands; if a file has already
    been included, a .so for that
    file is ignored and a .nx terminates execution. If no input file
    is given, deroff reads from standard input. 
    
    
    The options are −w    Output a word list, one ‘word’ (string of letters, digits, and
    properly embedded ampersands and apostrophes, beginning with a
    letter) per line. Other characters are skipped. Otherwise, the
    output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above.
 −_    Like −w, but consider underscores to be alphanumeric rather
    than punctuation.
 −i    Ignore .so and .nx requests.
 −ms
 −mm   Remove titles, attachments, etc., as well as ordinary troff
    constructs, from ms(7) or mm documents.
 −ml   Same as −mm, but remove lists as well. 
    
    
    Delatex does for tex and latex (see tex(1)) files what deroff
    −wi does for troff files.

 BUGS     
 |  |  |  | These filters are not complete interpreters of troff or tex. For
    example, macro definitions containing \$ cause chaos in deroff
    when the popular $$ delimiters for eqn are in effect. 
    
    
    Text inside macros is emitted at place of definition, not place
    of call.
