Convert troffcvt output to ascii text

Usage

tc2text [ options ] file ... ]

Overview

tc2text is a postprocessor for troffcvt and converts troffcvt output to to ASCII text. It's usually invoked by running the troffcvt front end unroff .

tc2text understands the following options:

-D

Enable debugging output.

-E

Cause tc2text to echo token information to stderr as tokens are read from troffcvt.

-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.

Bugs

tc2text uses a set of special macros that tell troffcvt how to generate tc2text-specific output that indicates text structural elements. These macros do not work in compatibility mode.

From troffcvt 1.04+repack1-1 in Debian 12 (Bookworm). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
