deroff
[options
] [files
]
Remove all nroff/troff requests and macros, backslash escape sequences, and
tbl
and
eqn
constructs from the named
files
.
Suppress text that appears on macro lines (i.e., paragraphs will print but headings might be stripped).
Same as -mm , but also deletes lists created by mm macros; e.g., .BL/.LE, .VL/.LE constructs. (Nested lists are handled poorly.)
Output the text as a list, one word per line. See also example under xargs .
