.in0
High programming skill is required to
exploit the formatting capabilities
of NROFF, although unskilled personnel can
easily be trained to enter documents according to canned
formats.
.sh NROFF
Advanced typesetting for terminals.
Style similar to ROFF, but capable of much more elaborate
feats of formatting, at a price in ease of use.
.op
All ROFF capabilities available or definable.
.op
Completely definable page format keyed to dynamically planted
\*(lqinterrupts\*(rq at specified lines.
.op
Maintains several separately definable typesetting environments (e.g. one for
body text, one for footnotes, and one for unusually elaborate
headings).
.op
Arbitrary number of output pools can be combined at will.
.op
Macros with substitutable arguments, and macros invocable
in mid-line.
.op
Computation and printing of numerical quantities.
.op
Conditional execution of macros.
.op
Tabular layout facility.
.op
Multicolumn output on terminals capable of reverse line feed,
or through the postprocessor COL.
.op
Usable as a filter.
.sh Manual
Printed manual for NROFF.
.sh NEQN
A mathematical typesetting preprocessor for NROFF
similar to EQN (see Section 6).
Prepares formulas for display on
Model 37 Teletypes with half-line functions
and 128-character font.
.op
For Diablo-mechanism terminals, filter output through GSI.
.op
Same facilities as EQN within graphical capability of
terminal.
.sh Manual
Printed manual for NEQN/EQN.
.sh TBL
A preprocessor for NROFF/TROFF
that translates simple descriptions of table layouts
and contents into detailed typesetting instructions.
.op
Computes column widths.
.op
Handles left- and right-justified columns,
centered columns and decimal-point
alignment.
.op
Places column titles.
.sh MS

for use with NROFF/TROFF.
.op
Page numbers and draft dates.
.op

.h0 "\\n+a Typesetting"

.sp
This software generates output on a Graphic Systems System/1
phototypesetter.
It is distributed separately as an enhancement to M\s8INI-\s10U\s8NIX\s10.
.sp
High programming skill is required to exploit the formatting
capabilities of TROFF, although unskilled personnel can easily be trained
to enter documents according to canned formats.
TROFF and EQN are sufficiently similar to NROFF and NEQN
that it is usually possible to define interchangeable 
formats to produce
approximate proof copy on terminals.
The preprocessors MS and TBL are fully compatible
with TROFF as well as NROFF.
.sh TROFF
Provides facilities like NROFF, augmented as follows.
This Summary was typeset by TROFF.
.op
Vocabulary of several 102-character fonts (4 simultaneously)
in 15 sizes.
.op
Positions expressible in inches, centimeters, ems, points,
machine units
or arithmetic combinations thereof.
.op
Access to character-width computation for unusually difficult
layout problems.
.op
Overstrikes, built-up brackets, horizontal and vertical line drawing.
.op
Dynamic relative or absolute positioning and size selection,
globally or at the character level.
.op
Terminal output for rough sampling of the product,
usually needs a wide platen.
Not a substitute for NROFF.
.op
Usable as a filter.
.sh Manuals
Printed manual and tutorial for TROFF.
.sh EQN
A mathematical typesetting preprocessor for TROFF.
Translates easily readable formulas, either in-line or displayed, into 
detailed typesetting instructions.
Formulas are written in a style like this:
.ti10m
sigma sup 2 ~=~ 1 over N sum from i=1 to N ( x sub i _ x bar ) sup 2
.br
which produces this:
