13.9.1 roff typesetting
Traditionally, roff is the main Unix text processing system.
See roff(7), groff(7), groff(1),
grotty(1), troff(1), groff_mdoc(7),
groff_man(7), groff_ms(7), groff_me(7),
groff_mm(7), and info groff.
A good tutorial on -me macros exists. If you have
groff (1.18 or newer), find
/usr/share/doc/groff/meintro.me.gz and do the following:
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/groff/meintro.me.gz | \
groff -Tascii -me - | less -R
The following will make a completely plain text file:
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/groff/meintro.me.gz | \
GROFF_NO_SGR=1 groff -Tascii -me - | col -b -x > meintro.txt
For printing, use PostScript output.
$ groff -Tps meintro.txt | lpr
$ groff -Tps meintro.txt | mpage -2 | lpr
