More stuff for groff ==================== win32 ----- Here two ports using the gcc compiler and other GNU tools: . Cygwin: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ Look for a convenient mirror site in http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html At any of those mirrors, groff can be found in the directory latest/groff. . Kees Zeelenberg : http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groffl.htm This port includes recent versions of grap and deroff. dos --- Binaries for Eli Zaretskii's port using the djgpp compiler are available from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro*b.zip and its mirrors; for installation details please read `arch/djgpp/README'. This port also runs on win32 systems, except Win2K. grap ---- An implementation of Kernighan & Bentley's grap language for typesetting graphs. Written by Ted Faber . The actual version can be found at http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/Vault/software/grap/ A djgpp port which runs on dos and most win32 systems (Win95, Win98, WinNT) done by Kees Zeelenberg is available from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/ It is intended to be used with the djgpp port of groff. A win32 port is included in the groff package available from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ plot2dev -------- This utility program can convert plot graphics to either pic or gremlin files. It has been written by Richard Murphey and Daniel Senderowicz (who has added the gremlin driver). The actual version can be found as ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/plot2dev-x.x.tar.gz troffcvt -------- From the web page: troffcvt is a translator that turns troff input into a form that can be more easily processed. The troffcvt distribution comes with postprocessors that turn troffcvt into various destination formats such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), RTF (Rich Text Format) or plain text. Note that you need a lot of additional packages to compile troffcvt; everything is available from http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/ unroff ------ From the README file: Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language. Unroff is free software and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries. http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/unroff/unroff.html You need als Elk, the Scheme based Extension Language Kit, which is available from http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/elk deroff ------ Deroff removes roff constructs from documents for the purpose of indexing, spell checking etc. Michael Haardt's implementation is a little smarter than traditional implementations, because it knows about certain -man and -mm macros. It is able to generate a word list for spell checking tools or omit headers for sentence analysis tools. It can further generate cpp-style #line lines. http://www.moria.de/deroff/ Version 1.6 compiled with DJGPP (for MS-DOS and all Win32 systems, i.e. Win95, Win98, WinNT) is available from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/ and its mirrors. A win32 port of version 1.8 is available from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ David Frey has also written a deroff implementation for Debian; it is available from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/deroff/ miscellaneous ------------- . Ralph Corderoy's excellent page on troff: www.troff.org There are links for virtually everything related to troff. . Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html At present there are examples for o creating business cards o using groff to make large format posters for presentations . Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html Description: o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it as a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the output file with the original. o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new drop cap. o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm) of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag. . Thomas Baruchel has developed Meta-tbl, a tbl postprocessor to manipulate table cells (like adding gray shades). The latest version can be found at http://perso.libertysurf.fr/baruchel/ . gpresent, written by Bob Diertens . From the README file: gpresent is a package for making presentation with groff and acroread. It consist of a set of macros to be used with groff and a post-processor for manipulating the PostScript output of groff. Without the use of the PAUSE macro, it can also be used for making slides. It is available from www.science.uva.nl/~bobd/useful/gpresent/ documentation ------------- Many documents related to the original versions of troff, ditroff, pic, and others can be accessed from the following web pages: http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr.html http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/papers.html
