Hi DJ, > Since ditroff stands for “Device Independent troff”
It does. It means the troff which doesn't have a device hard-coded within it but can instead take -Tps, -Tutf8, etc. The output of the device-independent troff is specific to the chosen -T device. Continuing to include the ‘independent’ as part of the name for the output seems wrong. It's the output of a DI troff but is not itself DI. > what about something like ‘dee-vie-roff’ or ‘di-vie-roff’ depending on > how you pronounce “device”? Those not in the know won't see a ‘v’ when looking at ‘ditroff’ so ‘vie’ won't feature in its pronunciation. -- Cheers, Ralph.
