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

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.
