NAME

Table Of Contents

SYNOPSIS

tcldocstrip output ?options? input ?guards?
tcldocstrip ?options? output (?options? input guards)...
tcldocstrip -guards input

DESCRIPTION

The application described by this document, tcldocstrip, is a relative of docstrip, a simple literate programming tool for LaTeX.

tcldocstrip is based upon the package docstrip.

USE CASES

tcldocstrip was written with the following three use cases in mind.

  1. Conversion of a single input file according to the listed guards into the stripped output. This handles the most simple case of a set of guards specifying a single document found in a single input file.

  2. Stitching, or the assembly of an output from several sets of guards, in a specific order, and possibly from different files. This is the second common case. One document spread over several inputs, and/or spread over different guard sets.

  3. Extraction and listing of all the unique guard expressions and guards used within a document to help a person which did not author the document in question in familiarizing itself with it.

OPTIONS
