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.

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.
