soelim - interpret .so requests in groff input
[files
...]
It is possible to have whitespace between the -I command line option
and its parameter.
soelim reads files and replaces lines of
the form
by the contents of file. It is useful if files included with .so
need to be preprocessed. Normally, soelim should be invoked with the -s option
of groff.
To embed ‘[rs]’ in the file name, write ‘[rs][rs]’ or ‘[rs]e’. To embed
a space, write ‘[rs] ’. Any other escape sequence in file makes soelim ignore
the whole line.
Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading
dot and the two characters ‘s’ and ‘o’. Otherwise, only groff interprets the
.so request (and soelim ignores it).
- -C
- Recognize .so even when followed
by a character other than space or newline.
- -Idir
- This option may be used
to add a directory to the search path for files (both those on the command
line and those named in .so requests). The search path is initialized with
the current directory. This option may be specified more than once; the
directories are then searched in the order specified (but before the current
directory). If you want to make the current directory be read before other
directories, add -I. at the appropriate place.
- No directory search is performed
for files with an absolute file name.
-
- -r
- Do not add .lf requests (for general
use, with non-groff files).
- -t
- Don’t emit .lf requests but TeX comment lines
(starting with ‘%’) giving the current file and line number.
- -v
- Print the
version number.
The normal processing sequence of groff is this:
