typesetting document formatter
groff (GNU roff) is a typesetting system that reads plain text input that includes formatting commands to produce output in PostScript, PDF, HTML, or DVI 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 troff and other programs from AT&T Unix, groff is widely available on POSIX and other systems owing to its long association with Unix manuals, including man pages. It and its predecessor have produced several best-selling software engineering texts. groff can create typographically sophisticated documents while consuming minimal system resources.
This is a GNU package:groff
