Hi,

I'm curious about the state of the script generated text documents,

which have embedded special characters. The documents only seem

to render properly using "more" and "less -r". Web browsers and most

text viewers present the special chacters in an ugly fashion.

Afaik the "sgml2txt"/"linuxdoc -B text" command doesn't have an option that

correctly removes these special characters and I had to make a sed script to do

so.(The script I use  attached).

Does anyone know about this ? 

Steven Atkinson.

#!/bin/bash
sgml2txt -b 2 "$1"
cat "$1.txt" | sed -e 's/[^m]*m//g' -e 's/.//g' >tmp$$
mv tmp$$ "$1.txt"
