+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+The GNU
+.I roff
+TTY
+(\[lq]Teletype\[rq])
+output driver translates the output of
+.MR @g@troff @MAN1EXT@
+into a form suitable for typewriter-like devices,
+including terminal emulators.
+.
+Normally,
+.I grotty
+is invoked by
+.MR groff @MAN1EXT@
+when the latter is given one of the
+.RB \[lq] \-T\~ascii \[rq],
+.RB \[lq] \-T\~latin1 \[rq],
+.BR \-Tlatin1 ,
+or
+.RB \[lq] \-T\~utf8 \[rq]
+options on systems using ISO character encoding standards,
+or with
+.RB \[lq] \-T\~cp1047 \[rq]
+or
+.RB \[lq] \-T\~utf8 \[rq]
+on EBCDIC-based hosts.
+.
+(In this installation,
+.B @DEVICE@
+is the default output device.)
+.
+Use
+.IR groff 's
+.B \-P
+option to pass any options shown above to
+.IR grotty .
+.
+If no
+.I file
+arguments are given,
+or if
+.I file
+is \[lq]\-\[rq],
+.I grotty
+reads the standard input stream.
+.
+Output is written to the standard output stream.
+.
+.
+.P
+By default,
+.I grotty
+emits SGR escape sequences
+(from ISO\~6429,
+popularly called \[lq]ANSI escapes\[rq])
+to change text attributes
+(bold,
+italic,
+underline,
+reverse video
+.\" ECMA-48, 2nd edition (1979) calls it "negative image".
+[\[lq]negative image\[rq]]
+and colors).
+.
+Devices supporting the appropriate sequences can view
+.I roff
+documents using eight different background and foreground colors.
+.
+Following ISO\~6429,
+the following colors are defined in
+.IR tty.tmac :
+black,
+white,
+red,
+green,
+blue,
+yellow,
+magenta,
+and cyan.
+.
+Unrecognized colors are mapped to the default color,
+which is dependent on the settings of the terminal.
+.
+OSC\~8 hyperlinks are produced for these devices.
+.
+.
+.P
+In keeping with long-standing practice and the rarity of terminals
+(and emulators)
+that support oblique or italic fonts,
+italicized text is represented with underlining by default\[em]but see
+the
+.B \-i
+option below.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "SGR and OSC support in pagers"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+When paging
+.IR grotty 's
+output with
+.MR less 1 ,
+the latter program must be instructed to pass SGR and OSC sequences
+through to the device;
+its
+.B \-R
+option is one way to achieve this
+.RI ( less
+version 566 or later is required for OSC\~8 support).
+.
+Consequently,
+programs like
+.MR man 1
+that page
+.I roff
+documents with
+.I less
+must call it with an appropriate option.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "Legacy output format"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+The
+.B \-c
+option tells
+.I grotty
+to use an output format compatible with paper terminals,
+like the Teletype machines for which
+.I roff
+and
+.I nroff
+were first developed but which are no longer in wide use.
+.
+SGR escape sequences are not emitted;
+bold,
+italic,
+and underlining character attributes are thus not manipulated.
+.
+Instead,
+.I grotty
+overstrikes,
+representing a bold character
+.I c
+with the sequence
+.RI \[lq] c\~\c
+BACKSPACE\~\c
+.IR c \[rq],
+an italic character
+.I c
+with the sequence
+.RB \[lq] _\~\c
+BACKSPACE\~\c
+.IR c \[rq],
+and bold italics with
+.RB \[lq] _\~\c
+BACKSPACE\~\c
+.I c
+BACKSPACE\~\c
+.IR c \[rq].
+.
+This rendering is inherently ambiguous when the character
+.I c
+is itself the underscore.
+.
+.
+.P
+The legacy output format can be rendered on a video terminal
+(or emulator)
+by piping
+.IR grotty 's
+output through
+.MR ul 1 ,
+.\" from bsdmainutils 11.1.2+b1 (on Debian Buster)
+which may render bold italics as reverse video.
+.
+.\" 'more' from util-linux 2.33.1 (on Debian Buster) neither renders
+.\" double-struck characters as bold nor supports -b, but does render
+.\" SGR sequences (including color) with no flags required.
+Some implementations of
+.MR more 1
+are also able to display these sequences;
+you may wish to experiment with that command's
+.B \-b
+option.
+.
+.\" Version 487 of...
+.I less
+renders legacy bold and italics without requiring options.
+.
+In contrast to the terminal output drivers of some other
+.I roff
+implementations,
+.I grotty
+never outputs reverse line feeds.
+.
+There is therefore no need to filter its output through
+.MR col 1 .
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "Device control commands"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I grotty
+understands one device control function produced by the
+.I roff
+.B \[rs]X
+escape sequence in a document.
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BR "\[rs]X\[aq]tty: link " [\c
+.IR uri \~[ key\c
+.BI = value\c
+] \|.\|.\|.\|]\c
+.B \[aq]
+.
+Embed a hyperlink using the OSC 8 terminal escape sequence.
+.
+Specifying
+.I uri
+starts hyperlinked text,
+and omitting it ends the hyperlink.
+.
+When
+.I uri
+is present,
+any number of additional key/value pairs can be specified;
+their interpretation is the responsibility of the pager or terminal.
+.
+Spaces or tabs cannot appear literally in
+.IR uri ,
+.IR key ,
+or
+.IR value ;
+they must be represented in an alternate form.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "Device description files"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+If the
+.I DESC
+file for the character encoding contains the
+.RB \[lq] unicode \[rq]
+directive,
+.I grotty
+emits Unicode characters in UTF-8 encoding.
+.
+Otherwise,
+it emits characters in a single-byte encoding depending on the data in
+the font description files.
+.
+See
+.MR groff_font @MAN5EXT@ .
+.
+.
+.P
+A font description file may contain a directive
+.RB \[lq] internalname\~\c
+.IR n \[rq]
+where
+.I n
+is a decimal integer.
+.
+If the 01 bit in
+.I n
+is set,
+then the font is treated as an italic font;
+if the 02 bit is set,
+then it is treated as a bold font.
+.
+.\" The following seems to say nothing that is not true of font
+.\" description files in general; if so, it belongs in groff_font(5).
+.\"The code field in the font description field gives the code which is
+.\"used to output the character.
+.\".
+.\"This code can also be used in the
+.\".I groff
+.\".B \[rs]N
+.\"escape sequence in a document.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS Typefaces
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I grotty
+supports the standard four styles:
+.B R
+(roman),
+.B I
+.RI ( italic ),
+.B B
+.RB ( bold ),
+and
+.B BI
+(\f[BI]bold-italic\f[]).
+.
+Because the output driver operates in
+.I nroff
+mode,
+attempts to set or change the font family or type size are ignored.
