| | Nroff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is also a free software version of nroff in the groff package. | | | nroff (short for "new roff") is a Unix text-formatting program; it produces output suitable for simple fixed-width printers. | | | It was a descendant of the RUNOFF program from CTSS, the first computerized text-formatting program, and is a predecessor of the Unix troff document processing system. |

| | UNIX Text Formatting Using the -ms Macros |
| | They share the same command language and work in such a way that it is possible to use nroff for typewriter or lineprinter output (usually for early drafts of papers) and then to use troff for final phototypesetter output-both from the same input file. | | | One of nroff's most important functions is filling, the process of collecting words from the input file and placing them on an output line until no more will fit within a given line length. | | | To eliminate the date from nroff output, use the command.ND at the beginning of your input file. |

| | How to use troff/nroff |
| | Troff is designed for typesetting output, while nroff is designed to output to line printers. | | | To Nroff a file named inputfile and output to a file named outputfile simply use this command: | | | To use another macro package, simply replace "-ms" with "-mm" or "-me".There is also a -man macro package for Nroff, that can format documents like UNIX man pages. |

| | Formatting text using Unix tools: Nroff/Troff |
| | These instructions fall into two classifications: low-level commands that nroff and troff recognize directly and higher level instructions called macros that are defined in terms of the low-level commands. | | | Text formatting done with the UNIX formatting utilities nroff and troff (gtroff) is guided by instructions that you type in the file along with the text. | | | UNIX text formatting is based on the programs nroff and troff. |

| | The nroff request ".ce N", where N is an integer, centers the next N input lines within the currently available horizontal output space, i.e., within the length (72 spaces) specified by the ".ll 7.2i" request in Fragment 1 minus the spaces for the ".in N" that is currently in effect. | | | Therefore, the blank line that follows the paragraph in the nroff input file is output at the top of page 21, immediately after the two blank lines of the header, making the header look like it has three blank lines. | | | This is illustrated with fragments from the nroff input file used to produce this I-D. Commands in the nroff language are called "requests". |

| | The one we made the most use of in the example document was the H macro, which was used to identify the header levels for different sections of the document. | | | While this works fine for nroff with simple monospaced text, it would be impossible to use proportional fonts, change the font size, include EQN, PIC or TBL output. | | | Nroff provides automated support for creation of TOC (Table of Contents), lists of figures, and lists of tables. |

| | NROFF, a computer program that runs on the UNIX operating system, reads an input file prepared by the user and outputs a formatted paper suitable for publication or framing. | | | The input consists of text, or words to be printed, and requests, which give instructions to the NROFF program telling how to format the printed copy. | | | In keeping with this, it is helpful to begin a new line after every period, comma, or phrase, since common corrections are to add or delete sentences or phrases. |

| | nroff and troff are UNIX commands (and the utilities that support them) for formatting text files for printing. | | | (There are other UNIX commands for initiating printing.) nroff is designed for formatting output for line printers and letter-quality printers. | | | nroff and troff provide about the same level of formatting control as IBM's Script/VS language. |

| | DESCRIPTION nroff is a text formatting program that interprets source text contained in file and prepares it for printing on typewriter-like devices and line printers. | | | Source File Preparation Document source file preparation is usually easier when text is coded using macro packages such as mm(1) which provide a high-level interface for headings, page footers, lists, and other features, rather than coding the file with inherently low-level nroff requests. | | | nroff formatting capabilities are described in the tutorial cited below. |
