                     16: command lines, backslash constructions, macro definitions,
                     17: .I eqn
                     18: constructs (between `.EQ' and `.EN' lines or between delimiters),
                     19: and table descriptions and writes the remainder on the standard output.
                     20: .I Deroff
                     21: follows chains of included files (`.so' and `.nx' commands);
                     22: if a file has already been included, a `.so' is ignored and a `.nx'
                     23: terminates execution.  If no input file is given,
                     24: .I deroff
                     25: reads from the standard input file.

                     28: .B \-w
                     29: flag is given, the output is a word list, one `word' (string of letters,
                     30: digits, and apostrophes, beginning with a letter; apostrophes are removed)
                     31: per line, and all other characters ignored.
                     32: Otherwise, the output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above.

                     38: .I troff
                     39: interpreter, so it can be confused by subtle constructs.
                     40: Most errors result in too much rather than too little output.
