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   definitions,   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'
       terminates 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,  beginning  with  a  letter;
       apostrophes are removed) per line, and all  other  characters  ignored.
       Otherwise,   the	 output	 follows  the  original,  with	the  deletions
       mentioned above.

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.
