subj(1M)                                                           subj(1M)

NAME
     subj - generate a list of subjects from a document

SYNOPSIS
     subj  file ...

DESCRIPTION
     subj searches file(s) for subjects that might be appropriate in a
     subject-page index and prints the list of subjects to standard output.
     The document should contain formatting commands (from nroff, troff,
     and mm among others) to make the best use of subj.

WARNINGS
     subj selects sequences of capitalized words as subjects except the
     first word in each sentence. Thus, if a sentence begins with a proper
     noun, the capitalization rule will not select this word as a subject.
     On the other hand, since each sentence is expected to begin on a new-
     line, the first word of a sentence that begins in the middle of a line
     may be erroneously selected.

     The output of subj may not be appropriate for your needs and should be
     edited accordingly.

NOTES
     subj also selects as subjects modifier-noun sequences from the
     abstract, headings, and topic sentences (the first sentence in each
     paragraph), and occasionally a word is incorrectly categorized as a
     noun or adjective.
