| | The computer was a PDP-11, the editor was ed and the program to drive the phototypesetter was troff. | | | troff is a program that was developed at ATandT Bell Labs that really made UNIX and, thus, Linux possible. | | | It turned out the better way was a UNIX system, troff and the Graphic Systems CAT phototypesetter. |

| | Rather, it is more or less independent of any typesetter, except that the numbers in it have been computed on the basis of the resolution specified in the description file for the intended typesetter. | | | This form also demystifies.UC TROFF output and makes it possible for anyone to write other programs to process or generate it. | | | The ground rule was that.UC TROFF should retain its current specifications, so that existing software like.UC EQN,.UC TBL and the macro packages would continue to work with it. |

| | comp.text Frequently Asked Questions |
| | CAT troff is useless without filters to convert the "CAT codes" to something else, especially since the C/A/T is as common as a California condor. | | | These troffs are called "ditroff" (for device-independent troff) and contain some additional features such as arbitrary line drawing, and more flexible font handling. | | | Procedural markup tells the software what to do (space down, invoke a macro); generic markup describes the thing to be printed (heading, cross-reference, etc.) Troff and TeX are examples of procedural markups; ODA and SGML prescribe rules for generic languages; and good macro packages for troff or TeX make them, more-or-less, generic markup languages. |

| | Brief Introduction to troff |
| | troff directives occur in two forms: those which are indicated by source lines of the form `.x' or `.xy' where `x' and `y' are lower case Roman letters; and those directives which can occur within a line of the document text (we shall refer to the former as commands and the latter as in-line directives). | | | troff is the program which translates these directives into a form which can be used to drive the LaserJet printers. | | | Typing Documents on the UNIX system: using the -ms macros with Troff: More information on the -ms macros. |

| | 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. | | | The main formatting programs, called nroff and troff, are both able to interpret commands from one or more UNIX files that specify how the output of any text should look. | | | Following are three sample files of input for nroff or troff. |
