NAME

	doctype – intuit command line for formatting a document

SYNOPSIS

	doctype [ −n ] [ −T dev ] [ 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(7) and mm macro packages. Option −n invokes nroff instead of troff. The −T option is passed to troff.

EXAMPLES

	eval `{doctype chapter.?} | lp Typeset files named chapter.0, chapter.1, ...

SOURCE

	/usr/local/plan9/bin/doctype
