-.TH DETEX 1L "12 August 1993" "Purdue University"
-.SH NAME
-detex \- a filter to strip \fITeX\fP commands from a .tex file.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B detex
-[ \fB\-clnstw\fR ] [ \fB\-e\fI environment-list\fR ] [ \fIfilename\fR[.tex] ... ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Detex
-(Version 2.6)
-reads each file in sequence, removes all comments and
-.I TeX
-control sequences
-and writes the remainder on the standard output.
-All text in math mode and display mode is removed.
-By default,
-.I detex
-follows \\input commands.
-If a file cannot be opened, a warning message is
-printed and the command is ignored.
-If the
-.B \-n
-option is used, no \\input or \\include commands will be processed.
-This allows single file processing.
-If no input file is given on the command line,
-.I detex
-reads from standard input.
-.PP
-If the magic sequence ``\\begin{document}'' appears in the text,
-.I detex
-assumes it is dealing with
-.I LaTeX
-source and
-.I detex
-recognizes additional constructs used in
-.IR LaTeX .
-These include the \\include and \\includeonly commands.
-The
-.B \-l
-option can be used to force
-.I LaTeX
-mode and the
-.B \-t
-option can be used to force
-.I TeX
-mode regardless of input content.
-.PP
-Text in various environment modes of
-.I LaTeX
-is ignored. The default modes are array, eqnarray, equation, figure,
-mathmatica, picture, table and verbatim. The
-.B \-e
-option can be used to specify a comma separated
-.I environment-list
-of environments to ignore. The list replaces the defaults so specifying an
-empty list effectively causes no environments to be ignored.
-.PP
-The
-.B \-c
-option can be used in
-.I LaTeX
-mode to have detex echo the arguments to \\cite,
-\\ref, and \\pageref macros. This can be useful when sending the output to
-a style checker.
-.PP
-.I Detex
-assumes the standard character classes are being used for
-.IR TeX .
-.I Detex
-allows white space between control sequences
-and magic characters like `{' when recognizing things like
-.I LaTeX
-environments.
-.PP
-If the
-.B \-w
-flag is given, the output is a word list, one `word' (string of two or more
-letters and apostrophes beginning with a letter)
-per line, and all other characters ignored.
-Without \fB\-w\fR the output follows the original,
-with the deletions mentioned above. Newline characters are
-preserved where possible
-so that the lines of output match the input as closely as possible.
-.PP
-The TEXINPUTS environment variable is used to find \\input and \\include
-files. Like \fITeX\fP, it interprets a leading or trailing `:' as the default
-TEXINPUTS. It does \fInot\fP support the `//' directory expansion magic sequence.
-.PP
-Detex now handles the basic \fITeX\fP ligatures as a special case, replacing the
-ligatures with acceptable charater substitutes. This eliminates
-spelling errors introduced by merely removing them. The ligatures are
-\\aa, \\ae, \\oe, \\ss, \\o, \\l (and their upper-case
-equivalents). The special "dotless" characters \\i and \\j are also
-replaced with i and j respectively.
-.PP
-Note that previous versions of
-.I detex
-would replace control sequences with a space character to prevent words
-from running together.
-However, this caused accents in the middle of words to break words, generating
-"spelling errors" that were not desirable.
-Therefore, the new version merely removes these accents.
-The old functionality can be essentially duplicated by using the
-.B \-s
-option.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-tex(1L)
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Nesting of \\input is allowed but the number of opened files must not
-exceed the system's limit on the number of simultaneously opened files.
-.I Detex
-ignores unrecognized option characters after printing a warning message.
-.SH AUTHOR
-Daniel Trinkle, Computer Science Department, Purdue University
-.SH BUGS
-.I Detex
-is not a complete
-.I TeX
-interpreter, so it can be confused by some constructs.
-Most errors result in too much rather than too little output.
-.PP
-Running \fILaTeX\fR
-source without a ``\\begin{document}''
-through \fIdetex\fR may produce
-errors.
-.PP
-Suggestions for improvements are (mildly) encouraged.
