  • Nroff/Troff User's Manual
    AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 Computing Science Technical Report No. 54 Troff User's Manual² Joseph F. Ossanna Brian W. Kernighan Revised November, 1992 Troff User's Manual² Joseph F. Ossanna Brian W. Kernighan AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 Revised November, 1992 Troff User's Manual² Joseph F. Ossanna Brian W. Kernighan AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 Introduction Troff and nroff are text processors that format text for typesetter- and typewriter-like terminals, respectively. They accept lines of text interspersed with lines of format control information and format the text into a printable, paginated document having a user-designed style. Troff and nroff offer unusual free- dom in document styling: arbitrary style headers and footers; arbitrary style footnotes; multiple automatic sequence numbering for paragraphs, sections, etc; multiple column output; dynamic font and point-size control; arbitrary horizontal and vertical local motions at any point; and a family of automatic overstriking, bracket construction, and line-drawing functions. Troff produces its output in a device-independent form, although parameterized for a specific device; troff output must be processed by a driver for that device to produce printed output. Troff and nroff are highly compatible with each other and it is almost always possible to prepare input acceptable to both. Conditional input is provided that enables the user to embed input expressly des- tined for either program. Nroff can prepare output directly for a variety of terminal types and is capable of utilizing the full resolution of each terminal. A warning, however: nroff necessarily cannot support all fea- tures of troff.

  • Tbl — a Program to Format Tables M. E. Lesk Bell Laboratories Murray
    Tbl — A Program to Format Tables M. E. Lesk Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 ABSTRACT Tbl is a document formatting preprocessor for troff or nroff which makes even fairly complex tables easy to specify and enter. It is available on the PDP-11 UNIX* system and on Honeywell 6000 GCOS. Tables are made up of columns which may be independently centered, right-adjusted, left-adjusted, or aligned by decimal points. Headings may be placed over single columns or groups of columns. A table entry may contain equations, or may consist of several rows of text. Horizontal or vertical lines may be drawn as desired in the table, and any table or element may be enclosed in a box. For example: 1970 Federal Budget Transfers (in billions of dollars) Taxes Money State Net collected spent New York 22.91 21.35 −1.56 New Jersey 8.33 6.96 −1.37 Connecticut 4.12 3.10 −1.02 Maine 0.74 0.67 −0.07 California 22.29 22.42 +0.13 New Mexico 0.70 1.49 +0.79 Georgia 3.30 4.28 +0.98 Mississippi 1.15 2.32 +1.17 Te xas 9.33 11.13 +1.80 November 2, 1997 * UNIX is a Trademark/Service Mark of the Bell System -- -- Tbl — A Program to Format Tables M.

  • A Research UNIX Reader: Annotated Excerpts from the Programmer's
    AResearch UNIX Reader: Annotated Excerpts from the Programmer’sManual, 1971-1986 M. Douglas McIlroy ABSTRACT Selected pages from the nine research editions of the UNIX®Pro grammer’sManual illustrate the development of the system. Accompanying commentary recounts some of the needs, events, and individual contributions that shaped this evolution. 1. Introduction Since it beganatthe Computing Science Research Center of AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1969, the UNIX system has exploded in coverage, in geographic distribution and, alas, in bulk. It has brought great honor to the primary contributors, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, and has reflected respect upon many others who have built on their foundation. The story of howthe system came to be and howitgrewand prospered has been told manytimes, often embroidered almost into myth. Still, aficionados seem neverto tire of hearing about howthings were in that special circle where the system first flourished. This collection of excerpts from the nine editions of the research UNIX Programmer’sManual has been chosen to illustrate trends and some of the lively give-and-take—or at least the tangible results thereof—that shaped the system. It is a domestic study,aimed only at capturing the way things were in the system’soriginal home. To look further afield would require a tome, not a report, and possibly a more dis- passionate scholar,not an intimate participant. The rawreadings are supplemented by my own recollec- tions as corrected by the memories of colleagues. The collection emphasizes development up to the Seventh Edition (v7*) in 1979, providing only occasional peeks ahead to v8 and v9.

  • TROFF ( 1 ) UNIX Programmer's Manual TROFF ( 1 ) Troff, Nroff – Text Formatting and Typesetting Troff [ Option ] ... [ File
    TROFF ( 1 ) UNIX Programmer’s Manual TROFF ( 1 ) NAME troff, nroff – text formatting and typesetting SYNOPSIS troff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... nroff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION Troff formats text in the named files for printing on a Graphic Systems C/A/T phototypesetter; nroff for typewriter-like devices. Their capabilities are described in the Nroff/Troff user’s manual. If no file argument is present, the standard input is read. An argument consisting of a single minus (– ) is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input. The options, which may appear in any order so long as they appear before the files, are: – olist Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the comma-separated list of numbers and ranges. A range N– M means pages N through M; an initial – N means from the beginning to page N; and a final N– means from N to the end. – nN Number first generated page N. – sN Stop every N pages. Nroff will halt prior to every N pages (default N=1) to allow paper load- ing or changing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline. Troff will stop the phototypesetter every N pages, produce a trailer to allow changing cassettes, and resume when the typesetter’s start button is pressed. – mname Prepend the macro file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac. name to the input files . – raN Set register a (one-character) to N. – i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted. – q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request. NNrrooffff oon nllyy – Tname Prepare output for specified terminal.

  • Extending Gnu Troff to Produce Html Through the Technique of Next Event Simulation
    G. MULLEY and W.LEMBERG: EXTENDING GNU TROFF TOPRODUCE HTML EXTENDING GNU TROFF TOPRODUCE HTML THROUGH THE TECHNIQUE OF NEXT EVENT SIMULATION GAIUS MULLEY and WERNER LEMBERG School of Computing,University of Glamorgan, CF37 1DL, UK E-Mail: [email protected] Kl. Beurhausstr.1,44137 Dortmund, Germany E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper reports on a technique used to generate accurate HTML output from GNU Troff. GNU Troff is a typesetting package which reads plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted output. It supports a number of devices and nowsupports the production of HTML.The paper discusses the design of the HTML device driver grohtml and modifications made to GNU Troff. The front end program troff wasmodi- fied to maintain a reduced state machine which is examined each time a glyph is passed to the back end device driver(post-grohtml). Anychange in system state between the production of twoglyphs results in a sequence of events being passed to the device driver. There is a direct correspondence between this technique and creating ascript for a next event simulation queue. Furthermore the device driverreconstructs the system state and for- mats the HTML according to state changes caused when processing the event queue. This technique works well, as it minimises the state information passed from front end to back end device driverwhilst still preserving the high levellayout of the text. Using this technique GNU Troffeffectively translates input source into another mark-up language and thus this technique could be extended to translate GNU Troffdocuments into anyofthe OpenOffice supported formats.

No part of this document may be reproduced, or distributed outside the Laboratories, without the written permission of Bell Telephone Laboratories. - Copyright © 1972, 1973 Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated This manual was set by a Graphic Systems photo- typesetter drivenbythe troff formatting program op- erating under the UNIX system. The text of the manu- al was prepared using the ed text editor. - PREFACE to the Fourth Edition In the months since the last appearance of this manual, manychanges have occurred both in the system it- self and in the way it is used. The most important changes result from a complete rewrite of the UNIX sys- tem in the C language. There have also been substantial changes in much of the system software. It is these changes, of course, which mandated the newedition of this manual. The number of UNIX installations is nowabove 20, and manymore are expected. None of these has exactly the same complement of hardware or software. Therefore, at anyparticular installation, it is quite possible that this manual will give inappropriate information. In particular, the information in this manual applies only to UNIX systems whichoperate under the C language versions of the system. Installations which use older versions of UNIX will find earlier editions of this manual more appropriate to their situation. Even in installations which have the latest versions of the operating system, not all the software and other facilities mentioned herein will be available. For example, the typesetter,voice response unit, and voice synthesizer are hardly universally available devices; also, some of the UNIX software has not been released for use outside the Bell System.
