DESCRIPTION
sgml2txt is an old and obsoleted form of
the text converter command of LinuxDoc-Tools. It is recommended to
switch the new form linuxdoc -B text now. It converts a
LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to ASCII, ISO-8859-1, or EUC-JP
output. Output will appear in file.txt where file is
the name of the SGML source file.
The attribute/value pair "output=txt" is set for conditionals.
OPTIONS
sgml2txt accepts all the generic options
described in linuxdoc(1),
and the following specific options:
- --manpage, -m
- Outputs a groff source file, suitable for formatting with
groff -man for man pages
- --filter, -f
- Remove backspace-overstrikes from the intermediate form
generated by groff(1).
- --pass, -P
- The argument of the pass option is added to the command-line
options handed to groff(1).
- --blanks=n, -b
- Set the limit of continuous blank lines for generating the
output document. The default limit is 3. if 0 (zero) is specified,
the result have many continuous blank lines.
