NAME
     l2a - a LaTeX detergent

SYNOPSIS
     l2a [ -a ] [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
     L2a  is a filter to ``detexify'' texts.  That is, it attempts to remove La-
     TeX markup commands, leaving only the body of text.  It is intended  to  be
     used when journal editors request plain ASCII text for typesetting, or when
     you  want to post a plain version of a LaTeX document on an electronic con-
     ference system.

     L2a is a filter.  Its default operation is to read from standard input (the
     keyboard) and write on standard output (the terminal).

OPTIONS
     -a     Write out information about l2a.

     -h     Write out a brief summary of options.

     -n     Generate norwegian headings.

     -v     Display version number.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Unrecognized markup commands generate  an	error  message	on  the  screen.
     There is no return code.
