SYNOPSIS
djvutxt [options] inputdjvufile [outputtxtfile]DESCRIPTION
Program djvutxt decodes the hidden text layer of a DjVu document inputdjvufile and prints it into file outputtxtfile or on the standard output. The hidden text layer is usually generated with the help of an optical character recognition software.Without options -detail and -escape, this program simply outputs the UTF-8 text. Option -detail cause the output of S-expressions describing the text and its location. Option -escape uses C-style escape sequences to represent nonprintable non-ASCII characters.

For instance, specification 1-10 outputs pages 1 to 10, and specification 1,3,99999-4 outputs pages 1 and 3, followed by all the document pages in reverse order up to page 4.
