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.
