Hi- So it is my first ever attempt at using Groff.
I wrote the small text file below in Mom, and processed it into pdf using pdfmom 1.22.2, on a Fedora 20 box. Then I moved the pdf to a Windows machine. The generated pdf file doesn't have any paragraphs when viewed by Adobe Reader XI Version 11.00.08 on Windows 8 64-bit. It is nothing but title text. But if I convert the resultant pdf to a PNG using pdftopng 3.04 on Fedora, the title text and the paragraph text appears. I'm guessing that I was supposed to embed a font, maybe, in the PDF file itself somehow. Any ideas? The groff file and resultant PDF are attached. -Mike Gran
.TITLE "Using Groff/Mom like Markdown" .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET .START .PP Paragraphs in Mom are just one or more lines of consecutive text preceeded by the '\.PP' macro. .PP If you need to have text in your paragraph that happens to be a macro, like '\.PP', you'll need to escape the period by preceding it with a backslash, like so '\\\.PP'
