I'm experimenting with groff macros and I've placed '.B some text' into a file. I don't know what command line options to get groff to spit it out as bold text.
I've tried groff -man -T ascii filename | more but it just swallows the text. I've read many man pages but I'm not getting a thread to follow. About ten years ago I used nroff on a Gould UTX-32 (Unix) system, but I can't remember much. I believe I simply used 'nroff -man filename'. What I'm actually trying to do is create fortunes with bold, italic, and underlined words. I redirected man pages into a file and discovered that S backspace S will produce a bold S, and _ backspace S will produce S in reverse video. I added sequences like this to my fortune file, but then it's a bear to read. So I was hoping to use something from the roff family and their macros. -- i386 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE There are 10 types of people in this world.
