That is, it attempts to +remove LaTeX markup commands, leaving only the body of +text. It is intended to be used when journal editors request plain +ASCII text for typesetting, or when you want to post a plain version +of a LaTeX document on an electronic conference system. +.PP +.B L2a +is a filter. Its default operation is to read from standard input +(the keyboard) and write on standard output (the terminal). +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-a +Write out information about +.B +l2a. +.TP +.B \-h +Write out a brief summary of options. +.TP +.B \-n +Generate norwegian headings. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.PP +Unrecognized markup commands generate an error message on the screen. +There are no return code. + +.SH AUTHOR +.PP +Copyright \(co 1988, 1990 Gisle Hannemyr. +.PP +.B L2a +may be freely distributed and copied, as long as this file +is included in the distribution and that these statements +about authorship and copyright is not altered or removed. +.PP +Bug reports, improvements, comments, suggestions and flames to: +.ti +0.2i +Snail: Gisle Hannemyr, Brageveien 3A, 0452 Oslo, Norway. +.ti +0.2i +Email: gisle.hannemyr@nr.no (EAN); +.ti +0.9i +gisle@ifi.uio.no (Internet); +.ti +0.9i +\|.\|.\|.\|!mcsun!ifi!gisle (UUCP); +.ti +0.9i +(and several BBS mailboxes). +.SH BUGS +.PP +There is some Norwegian bias in +.B l2a. +In particular, +there exists several national versions of the ISO 646 7-bit +character set; but +.B l2a +bluntly assumes the standard Norwegian version of the ISO 646. +.PP +Only a subset of LaTeX is understood. +.\" EOF |
