Groff (Version 1.18.1.1)
Groff (GNU Troff) is a front-end to the groff document formatting system. Normally it runs the gtroff program (the GNU version of troff) and a postprocessor appropriate for the selected device. Available devices are:
- ps
- PostScript output; suitable for printers and previewers like gv(1).
- dvi
- TeX DVI format.
- html
- HTML output.
- X75
- 75dpi X Window System output suitable for the previewers xditview(1x) and gxditview(1).
- X100
- 100dpi X Window System output suitable for the previewers xditview(1x) and gxditview(1).
- ascii
- Text output using the ascii(7) character set.
- latin1
- Text output using the ISO Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) character set; see iso_8859_1(7).
The postprocessor to be
used for a device is specified by the
postpro command in the device
description file. This can be overridden with the
-X option.
The default device is ps. It can optionally preprocess with any of pic(1), eqn(1), tbl(1), refer(1), or soelim(1).
Options without an argument can be grouped behind a single -. A filename of - denotes the standard input.
