GROFF(ID:2077/gro001)

GNU's ROFF 


for GNU's implementation of ROFF

"James Clark began work on a GNU implementation of ditroff in early 1989. The first version, groff 0.3.1, was released June 1990. groff included

  • A replacement for ditroff with many extensions.
  • The soelim, pic, tbl, and eqn preprocessors.
  • Postprocessors for character devices, POSTSCRIPT, TeX DVI, and X windows. GNU troff also eliminated the need for a separate nroff program with a postprocessor which would produce ASCII output.
  • A version of the `me' macros and an implementation of the `man' macros.
