# groff
> Typesetting program that reads plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted output.
> It is the GNU replacement for the troff and nroff Unix commands for text formatting.
- Render a man page as plain text, and display the result:
`groff -man -T utf8 {{manpage.1}}`
- Render a man page using the ASCII output device, and display it using a pager:
`groff -man -T ascii {{manpage.1}} | less`
- Render a man page into an HTML file:
`groff -man -T html {{manpage.1}} > page.html`
- Process a roff file using the `tbl` and `pic` preprocessors, and the `me` macro set:
`groff -t -p -me -T utf8 {{foo.me}}`
- Run a `groff` command with preprocessor and macro options guessed by the `grog` utility:
`eval "$(grog -T utf8 {{foo.me}})"`
