NAME¶

troff2null - convert troff documents to troffcvt internal format

SYNTAX¶

troff2null [ options ] file ... ]

DESCRIPTION¶

troff2null converts files written in the troff input language and converts them to the troffcvt internal representation. It works by running the input files through troffcvt and then through tc2null .

troff2null understands the usual troffcvt options. It also understands the additional options listed below:

-D

Enable debugging output.

-E

Cause tc2null to echo token information to stderr as tokens are read from troffcvt.

-n

No execution. Just show the commands that troff2null would execute to process the document.

-p

Don't run the postprocessor (tc2null).

-T title

Specify a title for the document. This can be used for documents that do not contain any recognizable title. If the document does contain a title, it is overridden.

SEE ALSO¶

BUGS¶

troff2null uses a set of special macros that tell troffcvt how to generate tc2null-specific output that tc2null uses to recognize NULL structural elements. These macros do not work in compatibility mode.
