DESCRIPTION

The hp command reads standard input (usually output from the nroff), and writes
to standard output, which is usually Hewlett-Packard 2640- and 2621-series
terminal displays.

If your terminal has the display enhancement feature, you can display
subscripts and superscripts.  With the mathematical symbol feature, you can
display Greek and other special characters, with two exceptions:  the hp
command approximates the logical operator NOT with a right arrow and it only
shows the top half of the integral sign.

For overstrike characters (characters followed by a backspace and another
character), if either character is an underscore character, the other appears
underlined or in inverse video depending on terminal enhancements.

Note:  Some sequences of control characters (reverse line-feeds and backspaces)
       can make text disappear from the display.  Tables with vertical lines
       generated by the tbl command are often missing lines of text containing
       the bottom of a vertical line.  You can avoid these problems by first
       piping the input through the col, and then piping through the hp
       command.

FLAGS

-e   Displays overstruck characters underlined, superscripts in half-bright,
     and subscripts half-bright underlined.  Otherwise, all overstruck
     characters, subscripts, and superscripts appear in inverse video
     (dark-on-light).  Use this flag only if your display has the display
     enhancements feature.
