      groff is the GNU implementation of troff, a document formatting
      system.  Included in this release are implementations of troff,
      pic, eqn, tbl, grn, refer, -man, -mdoc, -mom, and -ms macros,
      and drivers for PostScript, TeX dvi format, HP LaserJet 4
      printers, Canon CAPSL printers, HTML and XHTML format (beta
      status), and typewriter-like devices.  Also included is a
      modified version of the Berkeley -me macros, the enhanced
      version gxditview of the X11 xditview previewer, and an
      implementation of the -mm macros.
