.Dd $Mdocdate: September 12 2014 $ .Dt DEMANDOC 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm demandoc .Nd emit only text of UNIX manuals .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm demandoc .Op Fl w .Op Ar .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility emits only the text portions of well-formed .Xr mdoc 7 and .Xr man 7 x manual files.
p By default, .Nm parses standard input and outputs only text nodes, preserving line and column position. Escape sequences are omitted from the output.
p Its arguments are as follows: l -tag -width Ds t Fl w Output a word list. This outputs each word of text on its own line. A .Qq word , in this case, refers to whitespace-delimited terms beginning with at least two letters and not consisting of any escape sequences. Words have their leading and trailing punctuation
q double-quotes, sentence punctuation, etc. stripped. t Ar The input files. .El
p If a document is not well-formed, it is skipped.
p The .Fl i , .Fl k , .Fl m , and .Fl p flags are silently discarded for calling compatibility with the historical deroff. .Sh EXIT STATUS The .Nm utility exits with one of the following values:
p l -tag -width Ds -compact t 0 No errors occurred. t 6 An operating system error occurred, for example memory exhaustion or an error accessing input files. Such errors cause .Nm to exit at once, possibly in the middle of parsing or formatting a file. The output databases are corrupt and should be removed . .El .Sh EXAMPLES The traditional usage of .Nm is for spell-checking manuals on x . This is accomplished as follows (assuming British spelling):
p .Dl $ demandoc -w file.1 | spell -b .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mandoc 1 , .Xr man 7 , .Xr mdoc 7 .Sh HISTORY .Nm replaces the historical deroff utility for handling modern .Xr man 7 and .Xr mdoc 7 documents. .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm utility was written by .An Kristaps Dzonsons Aq Mt kristaps@bsd.lv .
