.SH DESCRIPTION
.I troff2null

It works by running the input files through
.I troffcvt
and then through
.I tc2null .

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