    DEROFF(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		DEROFF(1)

    NAME
         deroff - remove nroff, troff, tbl and eqn constructs

    SYNOPSIS
         deroff [ -w ] file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         Deroff reads each file in sequence and removes all nroff and
         troff command lines, backslash constructions, macro defini-
         tions, eqn constructs (between `.EQ' and `.EN' lines or
         between delimiters), and table descriptions and writes the
         remainder on the standard output.	Deroff follows chains of
         included files (`.so' and `.nx' commands); if a file has
         already been included, a `.so' is ignored and a `.nx' ter-
         minates execution.  If no input file is given, deroff reads
         from the standard input file.

         If the -w flag is given, the output is a word list, one
         `word' (string of letters, digits, and apostrophes, begin-
         ning with a letter; apostrophes are removed) per line, and
         all other characters ignored.  Otherwise, the output follows
         the original, with the deletions mentioned above.

    SEE ALSO
         troff(1), eqn(1), tbl(1)

    BUGS
         Deroff is not a complete troff interpreter, so it can be
         confused by subtle constructs.  Most errors result in too
         much rather than too little output.
