+
+3) Documentation
+
+groff documentation is spread throughout the tree; where possible, it is
+close to the source code it describes.
+
+- The top-level directory contains text files presenting groff as a
+ software project, with its focus on organization of the code,
+ development procedures, and project administration.
+
+ If you don't know where to begin, start with "README"; it contains the
+ information you will require to obtain the groff distribution archive,
+ report bugs, and contact the developers.
+
+- A man page for each program (for section 1 of the manual) is
+ maintained in the source directory of the program itself.
+
+- Extensive man pages documenting GNU roff's input language, special
+ character repertoire, differences from AT&T troff, device and font
+ description file formats, macro files, and historical and conceptual
+ background are maintained in the "man" directory.
+
+- Documentation in other formats is located in the "doc" directory,
+ including groff's Texinfo manual, and tutorial and/or reference
+ manuals written using groff macro packages.
+
+- Documentation for contributed components is kept in the relevant
+ subdirectory of "contrib".
+
+
+4) groff language parser
+
+The "troff" program in "src/roff/troff" parses the groff input language.
+There, "input.cpp" implements the main loop and tokenizes input. Input
+tokens are transformed into nodes (a GNU troff internal data structure)
+by "env.cpp" and "node.cpp". Routines in the latter file generate the
+page description language from lists of nodes.
+
+
+5) page description language parser
+
+The parser for the page description language produced by troff is
+implemented in "src/libs/libdriver/input.cpp". This is used by all
+groff output drivers written in C++. ("gropdf", written in Perl,
+performs its own parsing.)
