GROFF_MOM(7)GROFF_MOM(7)NAMEgroff_mom - groff `mom' macros
SYNOPSIS
pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroff options]] [groff options] files ...
groff [-mom] files ...
groff [-m mom] files ...
DESCRIPTION
mom is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents
for PDF and PostScript output.
mom provides two categories of macros: macros for typesetting, and
macros for document processing. The typesetting macros provide access
to groff's typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to master
than groff's primitives. The document processing macros provide highly
customizable markup tags that allow the user to design and output pro‐
fessional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting intervention.
Files processed with pdfmom (man(1) pdfmom), with or without the -Tps
option, produce PDF documents. The documents include a PDF outline
that appears in the ‘Contents’ panel of document viewers, and may con‐
tain clickable internal and external links.
When -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to gen‐
erate the output. When given, the output is still PDF, but processing
is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's PostScript driver, grops.
Not all PDF features are available when -Tps is given; its primary use
is to allow processing of files with embedded PostScript images.
Files processed with groff -mom (or -m mom ) produce PostScript output
by default.
mom comes with her own very complete documentation in HTML format. A
separate PDF manual, Producing PDFs with groff and mom, covers full
mom/PDF usage.
