TextFile

Detex - Version 2.3

Detex is a program to remove TeX constructs from a text file.  It recognizes
the \input command.

This program assumes it is dealing with LaTeX input if it sees the string
"\begin{document}" in the text.  It recognizes the \include and \includeonly
commands.

This directory contains the following files:

README -	you're looking at it.

Makefile -	makefile for generating detex on a 4.2BSD Unix system.

detex.1l -	troff source for the detex manual page.
		Assuming you have the -man macros, use "make man-page" to
		generate it.

detex.h -	Various global definitions.  These should be modified to suit
		the local installation.

detex.l -	Lex and C source for the detex program.

Feel free to redistribute this program, but distribute the complete contents of
this directory.  Send comments and fixes to me via email.

Modified -- June 4, 1986
Changed so that it automatically recognizes LaTeX source and ignores several
environment modes such as array.


Modified (Version 2.0) -- June 30, 1984
Now handles white space in sequences like "\begin { document }".  Detex is not
as easily confused by such things as display mode ends and begins that don't
match up.


Modified -- September 19, 1986
Added the "-e <environment-list>" option to ignore specified LaTeX environments.


Modified -- June 30, 1987
Added the "-n" no-follow option, to allow detex to ignore \input and \include
commands.  Also changed the algorithm for locating the input files.  It now
interprets the "." more reasonably (i.e. it is not always the beginning of an
extension).


Modified -- December 15, 1988
Added handling of verbatim environment in LaTeX mode and added it to the list
of modes ignored by default.  Because of limitations with lex, it was
necessary to shorten the names of some of the existing start states before
adding a new one (ugh).


Modified -- January 3, 1988
Added ignore of \$ inside $$ (math) pair.


Modified (Version 2.2) -- June 25, 1990
Control sequences are no longer replaced by space, but just removed.  This
means accents no longer cause output words to be broken.  The "-c" option was
added to show the arguments of \cite, \ref, and \pageref macros.  This is
usefule when using something like style on the output.

Modified (Version 2.3) -- September 7, 1990
Fixed the handling of Ctl mode a little better and added an exception
for \index on suggestions from kcb@hss.caltech.edu (KC Border).  Also
changed the value for DEFAULTINPUTS to coincide with a local change.
