# groff
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Typesetting program that reads plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted output.
|
||||||
|
> It is the GNU replacement for the troff and nroff Unix commands for text formatting.
|

|

|
- Render a man page as plain text, and display the result:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`groff -man -T utf8 {{manpage.1}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Render a man page using the ASCII output device, and display it using a pager:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`groff -man -T ascii {{manpage.1}} | less`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Render a man page into an HTML file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`groff -man -T html {{manpage.1}} > page.html`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Process a roff file using the `tbl` and `pic` preprocessors, and the `me` macro set:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`groff -t -p -me -T utf8 {{foo.me}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Run a `groff` command with preprocessor and macro options guessed by the `grog` utility:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`eval "$(grog -T utf8 {{foo.me}})"`
