troff2null − convert troff documents to troffcvt internal format
troff2null [ options ] file ... ]
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.

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.
