That's why some people are building the minimal Kertex
distribution. They want Tex to be like Troff !

Hi list,
i found a minor issue within the man macros.
Most likely this is a know behaver but i found no mention of it.
As documented you can escape "\" by using "\\" or "\e\".
This went wrong in a man page. Please try the striped down example:
.TH test 3 test
.SH test
.B "\en"
.B "\\n"
with "man
Hello All,
The line .B "\\n" turns into \n which looks like a number register
without an argument: if you try
groff -ww -man example.1 > /dev/null
you will see the error message
example.1:4: a newline character is not allowed in an escape
name
It's not a man bug, it's troff expected behaviou

Hello all,
Pierre-Jean, you ask for experiences of users. My own is
that I used troff for all academic documentation, once Unix
was obtained, but once groff appeared (in the early 1990s)
writing troff macros became easier (well, less difficult).
I did a great number of newsletters and handbooks,
Having made many changes in the last three years, I've put up
version 1.0.7 of my -markup package. The changes are mostly cosmetic
and bug fixes, but I have added more real-life examples. It is at

One of my regrets, as well. Lilypond's basic input system works

Hmm, being an active LilyPond developer also (but rather for the
lilypond fonts and not lilypond-book, the LaTeX-lilypond interface
program), I think you should ask there, at least to register this as a
request.

Back when troff was drilled into my fingers, it fit in 64K
program space plus 64K data space. Each preprocessor got
a similar allotment. Roff, the predecessor of troff, fit
in 8K total. Some features have been
Let me please express my opinion and share experience.
I am not a long‐time groff user, but I use it exclusively
for about two years to typeset my papers and short booklets.
There are people here in the list who have used original
