This software is part of the GNU Project.

groff (GNU roff) is a typesetting system that reads plain text input that includes formatting commands to produce output in PostScript, PDF, HTML, or DVI formats or for display to a terminal.  Formatting commands can be low-level typesetting primitives, macros from a supplied package, or user-defined macros.  All three approaches can be combined.

A reimplementation and extension of troff and other programs from AT&T Unix, groff is widely available on POSIX and other systems owing to its long association with Unix manuals, including man pages.  It and its predecessor have produced several best-selling software engineering texts.  groff can create typographically sophisticated documents while consuming minimal system resources.
