NAME¶

untex - strip LaTeX comands from input

SYNOPSIS¶

untex [ options ] [ files ... ]

DESCRIPTION¶

Untex removes some LaTeX commands from the files listed in the arguments (or standard input) and prints the output to standard output.

OPTIONS¶

-

read from standard input.

-o

remove options to LaTeX commands, i. e. everything in brackets [] behind a command.

-i

process "\include{file}" and "\input{file}" and "\input file" commands.

-m

(try to) remove all math code.

-u

replace all \"a (etc.) with ibm (CP850) characters.

-uiso

replace all \"a (etc.) with ISO characters.

-uascii

replace all \"a (etc.) with ascii characters.

-g

replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ibm (CP850) characters.

-giso

replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ISO characters.

-gascii

replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ascii characters.

-e

remove environment names.

-a

remove arguments of commands (not recommended).

-g implies -u, -a implies -o.

SEE ALSO¶

latex, tex, detex

BUGS¶

The -g and -u options only work for german accented characters. Not fixed due to lack of time, any help is appreciated. The \includeonly command is ignored.

Using -u option in a UTF-8 terminal doesn't work. Using it alone in a Latin1 terminal doesn't work either, you must also add -uiso.
