‘The great strength of <code>troff</code> is the flexibility of the basic
|
|||
|
|
language and its programmability — it can be made to do almost any
|
|||
|
|
formatting task.’<br>

troff, and its GNU implementation
|

|
|
<a href='https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/groff.html'>groff</a>,
|
|||
|
|
are programs that process a textual description of a document to produce
|
|||
|
|
typeset versions suitable for printing.
|
|||
|
|
It's more ‘What you describe is what you get’ rather than WYSIWYG.
