-.TH DVI2TTY 1 "13 November 1990"
-.SH NAME
-dvi2tty \- preview a TeX DVI\-file on an ordinary ascii terminal
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dvi2tty
-[ options ] dvi\-file
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I dvi2tty
-converts a TeX DVI\-file to a format that is appropriate for terminals
-and line printers. The program is intended to be used for
-preliminary proofreading of TeX-ed documents.
-By default the output is directed to the terminal,
-possibly through a pager (depending on how the program was installed),
-but it can be directed to a file or a pipe.
-.PP
-The output leaves much to be desired, but is still
-useful if you want to avoid walking to the
-laser printer (or whatever) for each iteration of your
-document.
-.br
-Since
-.I dvi2tty
-produces output for terminals and line printers the
-representation of documents is naturally quite primitive.
-In principle Font Changes are totally ignored, but
-.I dvi2tty
-recognizes
-a few mathematical and special symbols that can be be displayed on an
-ordinary ascii terminal, such as the '+' and '-' symbol.
-.PP
-If the width of the output text requires more columns than fits
-in one line (c.f. the \-w option) it is broken into several lines by
-.I dvi2tty
-although they will be printed as one line on regular TeX output
-devices (e.g. laser printers). To show that a broken line is really
-just one logical line an asterisk (``*'') in the last position
-means that the logical line is continued on the next physical
-line output by
-.I dvi2tty.
-Such a continuation line is started with a a space and an asterisk
-in the first two columns.
-.PP
-Options may be specified in the environment variable DVI2TTY.
-Any option on the command line, conflicting with one in the
-environment, will override the one from the environment.
-.PP
-.B Options:
-.PP
-.TP
-.B \-o file
-Write output to file ``file''.
-.TP
-.B \-p list
-Print the pages chosen by list.
-Numbers refer to TeX\-page numbers (known as \\count0).
-An example of format for list is ``1,3:6,8''
-to choose pages 1, 3 through 6 and 8.
-Negative numbers can be used exactly as in TeX,
-e g \-1 comes before \-4 as in ``\-p\-1:\-4,17''.
-.TP
-.B \-P list
-Like \-p except that page numbers refer to
-the sequential ordering of the pages in the dvi\-file.
-Negative numbers don't make a lot of sense here...
-.TP
-.B \-w n
-Specify terminal width
-.I n.
-Legal range 16\-132.
-Default is 80. If your terminal has the
-ability to display in 132 columns it might
-be a good idea to use \-w132 and toggle the
-terminal into this mode as output will
-probably look somewhat better.
-.TP
-.B \-v
-Specify height of lines. Default value 450000. Allows to adjust linespacing.
-.TP
-.B \-q
-Don't pipe the output through a pager.
-This may be the default on some systems
-(depending on the whims of the person installing the program).
-.TP
-.B \-e n
-This option can be used to influence the spacing between words.
-With a negative value the number of spaces
-between words becomes less, with a positive value it becomes more.
-\-e\-11 seems to worked well.
-.TP
-.B \-f
-Pipe through a pager, $PAGER if defined, or whatever the installer of
-the program compiled
-in (often ``more''). This may be the default, but it is still okay
-to redirect output with ``>'', the pager will not be used if output
-is not going to a terminal.
-.TP
-.B \-F
-Specify the pager program to be used.
-This overrides the $PAGER and the default pager.
-.TP
-.B \-Fprog
-Use ``prog'' as program to pipe output into. Can be used to choose an
-alternate pager (e g ``-Fless'').
-.TP
-.B \-t
-\\tt fonts were used (instead of cm) to produce dvi file. (screen.sty
-is a powerfull mean to do that with LaTeX).
-.TP
-.B \-a
-Dvi2tty normally tries to output accented characters. With the -a option,
-accented characters are output without the accent sign.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-Mark page breaks with the two-character sequence ``^L''. The default is
-to mark them with a form-feed character.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-Do not attempt to translate any characters (like the Scandinavion/latin1 mode)
-except when running in tt-font.
-.TP
-.B \-u
-Toggle option to process certain latin1 characters. Use this if your output
-devices supports latin1 cahracters.
-Note this may interfere with -s. Best not to use -u and -s together.
-.TP
-.B \-s
-Toggle option to process the special Scandinavian characters that on most (?)
-terminals in Scandinavia are mapped to ``{|}[\\]''.
-Note this may interfere with -u. Best not to use -u and -s together.
-.TP
-.B \-J
-Auto detect NTT JTeX, ASCII pTeX, and upTeX dvi format.
-.TP
-.B \-N
-Display NTT JTeX dvi.
-.TP
-.B \-A
-Display ASCII pTeX dvi.
-.TP
-.B \-U
-Display upTeX dvi.
-.TP
-.B \-Eenc
-Set output Japanese encoding. The enc argument 'e', 's', 'j', and 'u'
-denotes EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, ISO-2022-JP, and UTF-8, respectively.
-.TP
-.B \-bdelim
-Print the name of fonts when switching to it (and ending it). The delim
-argument is used to delimit the fontname.
-.SH FILES
-/bin/more \ \ \ \
-probably the default pager.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-PAGER \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
-the pager to use.
-.br
-DVI2TTY \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
-can be set to hold command-line options.

-.SH BUGS
-Blanks between words get lost quite easy. This is less
-likely if you are using a wider output than the default 80.
-.PP
-Only one file may be specified on the command line.
