SOELIM(CT) XENIX System V SOELIM(CT)
Name
soelim - Eliminates .so's from nroff input.
Syntax
soelim [ file ... ]
Description
soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and
performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(CT)
directives of the form
.so somefile
when they appear on an input line beginning with a dot (.).
This is useful since programs such as tbl do not normally do
this; it allows the placement of individual tables in
separate files to be run as a part of a large document.
Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using a single
quotation mark (') instead of a dot (.), e.g.
'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
Example
A sample usage of soelim would be
soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -mm | col | lpr
See Also
nroff(CT), troff(CT)
Credit
This utility was developed at the University of California
at
Berkeley and is used with permission.
Notes
Exactly one blank must precede and no blanks may follow the
filename. Lines of the form
.if t .so /usr/lib/macros.t
mean that ``.so'' statements embedded in the text are
expanded.
