tip

You can use any glob pattern as files argument to select multiple files. For example utpp "*/**" foo=bar will run the preprocessor on all files in the current directory and all subdirectories and set the variable foo to bar. Or utpp "foo.txt;bar.tex;baz.html" will run the preprocessor on foo.txt, bar.tex and baz.html.
