NAME

doctype − intuit command line for formatting a document

SYNOPSIS

­doctype [ ­option ...  ] [ ­file ] ... 

DESCRIPTION

­Doctype examines a troff(1) input file to deduce the appropriate text formatting command and prints it on standard output. ­Doctype recognizes input for troff(1), related preprocessors like eqn(1), and the ms(6) and ­mm macro packages. 

Option ­-n invokes ­nroff instead of ­troff.  Other options are passed to ­troff. 

EXAMPLES

eval ‘{doctype chapter.?} | lp -du
Typeset files named chapter.0, chapter.1, ... 

SEE ALSO

troff(1), eqn(1), tbl(1), pic(1), grap(1), ms(6), man(6)
