# noroff(1)

format woven troff documentation

## NAME

noroff - format woven *troff* documentation

## SYNOPSIS

**noroff** \[ *groff options* \] files ...

## DESCRIPTION

*Noroff* formats documents that have been woven with *noweave -troff*. It passes on any options (flags) to [*groff*(1)](/groff/1.md), and treats any remaining non-option arguments as files to be processed. The *groff* options allow the easy invocation of the *gpic*, *gtbl*, and/or *geqn*, preprocessors.

If no options are supplied, it defaults to using the **-mm** macros, with PostScript output.

## BUGS

The shell script is probably still not as robust as it needs to be.

## SEE ALSO

[*groff*(1)](/groff/1.md), [*noweave*(1)](/noweave/1.md), [*nodefs*(1)](/nodefs/1.md), [*cpif*(1)](/cpif/1.md)\
 *Converting noweb markup to troff markup* in the file **src/shell/roff.nw** in the *noweb* distribution.

## VERSION

This man page is from  *noweb* version 2.12.
