Hi Folks, Visiting http://www.gnu.org for a quite separate purpose, I started to browse in the FSF "software directory":
http://directory.fsf.org/ and began to wonder where to look for groff. The list of categories is not particularly helpful, but I explored by burrowing down through Text creation and manipulation -> Documentation tools and there is groff -- described as "Document formatting system". There also is LaTeX -- described as "Typesetting system". I feel groff is a bit slighted by this, since it is as much a typesetting system as LaTeX is! I suspect that the groff description carries the burden of groff's role in formatting man-pages, i.e. supporting Unix-style documentation, which masks its true merits as a typesetting system. I feel this should be changed! Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 13-Jul-06 Time: 20:23:07 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
