5.1 Text

+ + +

AT&T troff was designed to take input as it would be +composed on a typewriter, including the teletypewriters used as early +computer terminals, and relieve the user drafting a document of concern +with details like line length, hyphenation breaking, and the achievement +of straight margins. Early in its development, the program gained the +ability to prepare output for a phototypesetter; a document could then +be prepared for output to either a teletypewriter, a phototypesetter, or +both. GNU troff continues this tradition of permitting an author +to compose a single master version of a document which can then be +rendered for a variety of output formats or devices. +

+

roff input files contain text interspersed with instructions to +control the formatter. Even in the absence of such instructions, GNU +troff still processes its input in several ways, by filling, +hyphenating, breaking, and adjusting it, and supplementing it with +inter-sentence space. +
