untex(1) 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.

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.
