1.2 What Is groff?

+ + + +

groff (GNU roff) is a typesetting system that reads plain +text input files that include formatting commands to produce output in +PostScript, PDF, HTML, DVI, or other formats, or for display to a +terminal. Formatting commands can be low-level typesetting primitives, +macros from a supplied package, or user-defined macros. All three +approaches can be combined. +

+

A reimplementation and extension of the typesetter from AT&T +Unix, groff is present on most POSIX systems owing to +its long association with Unix manuals (including man pages). It and +its predecessor are notable for their production of several best-selling +software engineering texts. groff is capable of producing +typographically sophisticated documents while consuming minimal system +resources. +
