Westerback" To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: A Troff Tutorial (usd:22) - hiding or not present Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-doc@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am interested in poking about in the documentation for FreeBSD, learning how it is all generated. Eventually DocBook, etc. but it seems a lot is in troff (and from postings here DocBook -> troff seems to be preferred) and I can't seem to find any introductory material on troff. Is the document "A Troff Tutorial (usd:22)" as mentioned in /usr/share/doc/usd/contents.ascii.gz installed somewhere? Not to mention other documents from the BSD distribution. If not part of the FreeBSD distribution is the document available for downloading/printing anywhere? Or do I have to buy the O'Reilly 4.4BSD documents. Alternatively is there another Troff document/book that is recommended? ---- Ken
