[Groff] Re: new grohtml

Hi Eddie,

I've just submitted some patches to Werner. Hopefully
they make grohtml more able to cope with authoring web
pages. In particular the homepage.ms no longer needs
the fudge (diacritical characters and wierd .bp's)

Here is mine (called homepage.ms) and build via

groff -ms -Thtml homepage.ms

note that when Werner has accepted and applied the
fixes you no longer need to specify the -mhtml

cheers Gaius

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.  You will require
a C++ compiler.
.LP
The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to groff.
.LP
Groff is free software.  See the file COPYING for copying permission.
.LP
The file PROBLEMS describes various problems that have been
encountered in compiling, installing, and running groff.
.LP
For the moment, the documentation assumes that you are already
familiar with the Unix versions of troff, -man, -ms and the
preprocessors.
.LP
The most recent released version of groff is always available by
anonymous ftp from ftp.gnu.org in the directory pub/gnu/groff.
.LP
A CVS repository is now available, containing the current development
version of groff.  You can access it with the commands:
.sp
.RS
.nf
\fC
export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/var/cvs
cvs login
cvs -z9 co groff
\fR
.fi
.RE
.sp
.LP
(if the prompt for the password appears, just press the enter key).
After a successful login you no longer need the first two commands; an
update of a checked out repository should be done with:
.sp
.RS
\fC
cvs -z9 update -d
\fR
.RE
.sp
.LP
Please read the info pages of cvs for further details.
.LP
Alternatively, you can
.URL "download snapshots" 
ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz
(which are updated twice a day) from:
.sp
.RS
\fC
ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz

Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT; the idea of
this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix
the bug.  At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure
that you supply all the information that it asks for.  Even if you are
not sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this
will enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.
.LP
Three mailing lists are available:
.sp

\fC
address@hidden          for reporting bugs
address@hidden              for general discussion of groff
address@hidden      a read-only list showing logs of
                           commitments to the CVS repository

Note that address@hidden is an alias for address@hidden; you must be
subscribed to the `groff' and `groff-commit' lists to send mails.
.LP
To subscribe, send e-mail to address@hidden (example:
address@hidden) with the word `subscribe' in either the
subject or body of the e-mail (don't include the quotes).
