The package parses plain text or TeX files, using TeX; it generalises the philosophy behind docstrip, based on TeX macro argument processing. The results are not then processed, but written to another file (possibly for later processing by TeX).

The package finds practical application in the author's makedoc package.

The package is part of the author’s nicetext bundle.

The author is Uwe Lück. The package is Copyright © 2009, 2010 Uwe Lück.
