-
- Section 22 of the Troff User Manual describes the
- language. groff itself appears to be reverse
- engineered from the User Manual. The manual can
- be ordered from AT&T/NCR (DWB Manual) or UNIX
- Tenth Edition, Vol. II, Saunders College Publishing.
-
- groff has made changes to the "official" definition.
- Since Brian Kernighan invented the language, I consider
- him to be the only one entitled to change it.
