+.
+GNU
+.I soelim \" GNU
+is a preprocessor for the
+.MR groff @MAN7EXT@
+document formatting system.
+.
+.I @g@soelim
+works as a filter to eliminate source requests in
+.MR roff @MAN7EXT@
+input files;
+that is,
+it replaces lines of the form
+.RB \[lq] .so
+.IR included-file \[rq]
+within each text
+.I input-file
+with the contents of
+.IR included-file ,
+recursively.
+.
+By default,
+it writes
+.B lf
+requests as well to record the name and line number of each
+.I input-file
+and
+.IR included-file ,
+so that any diagnostics produced by later processing can be accurately
+traced to the original input.
+.
+Options allow this information to be suppressed
+.RB ( \-r )
+or supplied in \*[tx] comments instead
+.RB ( \-t ).
+.
+In the absence of
+.I input-file
+arguments,
+.I @g@soelim
+reads the standard input stream.
+.
+Output is written to the standard output stream.
+.
+.
+.PP
+If the name of a
+.I macro-file
+contains a backslash,
+use
+.B \[rs]\[rs]
+or
+.B \[rs]e
+to embed it.
+.
+To embed a space,
+write
+.RB \[lq] \[rs]\~ \[rq]
+(backslash followed by a space).
+.
+Any other escape sequence in
+.IR macro-file ,
+including
+.RB \[lq] \[rs][rs] \[rq],
+prevents
+.I @g@soelim
+from replacing the source request.
+.
+.
+.PP
+The dot must be at the beginning of a line and must be followed by
+.RB \[lq] so \[rq]
+without intervening spaces or tabs for
+.I @g@soelim
+to handle it.
+.
+This convention allows source requests to be \[lq]protected\[rq] from
+processing by
+.IR @g@soelim ,
+for instance as part of macro definitions or
+.RB \[lq] if \[rq]
+requests.
+.
+.
+.PP
+There must also be at least one space between
+.RB \[lq] so \[rq]
+and its
+.I macro-file
+argument.
+.
+The
+.B \-C
+option overrides this requirement.
+.
+.
+.PP
+The foregoing is the limit of
+.IR @g@soelim 's
+understanding of the
+.I roff
+language;
+it does not,
+for example,
+replace the input line
+.
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.if 1 .so otherfile
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+with the contents of
+.IR otherfile .
+.
+With its
+.B \-r
+option,
+therefore,
+.I @g@soelim
+can be used to process text files in general,
+to flatten a tree of input documents.
+.
+.
+.PP
+.I soelim \" generic
+was designed to handle situations where the target of a
+.I roff \" generic
+source request requires a preprocessor such as
+.MR @g@eqn @MAN1EXT@ ,
+.MR @g@pic @MAN1EXT@ ,
+.MR @g@refer @MAN1EXT@ ,
+or
+.MR @g@tbl @MAN1EXT@ .
+.
+The usual processing sequence of
+.MR groff @MAN1EXT@
+is as follows.
+.
+.\" Does this groff installation use a command prefix? In installed
+.\" pages, this comparison will not look like it needs to be dynamically
