I haven't seen a groff man page that says anything but "this documents diffs from unix troff" Is there documentation for troff (pic, refer, etc.) that ships with FreeBSD or is available somewhere? I have access to some paper docs for troff, but I'd prefer something on line. I know about the me and ms macro stuff in /usr/share/doc/usd . - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Faber faber@isi.edu USC/ISI Computer Scientist http://www.isi.edu/~faber (310) 822-1511 x190 PGP Key: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNRFyBIb4eisfQ5rpAQFAVgP7B8bPknTqzJ9R1KT/+wszqOk5wyGjrQV6 GrRq84yO6RuRb1nBj/vwV5whwE74BlYSe//1uPa2YSYOU5N4EtSaYbojmEdBZkSj /SD6z3z/t+u/VhgJ/Wz+FIu5uzCOtYNnzqkO6VuYBSF/7ZBSokRkz1qtcF/c+oGm JK1ih6Npyys= =n3XT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
