troffcvt
--------

>From the web page:

  troffcvt is a translator that turns troff input into a form that can be
  more easily processed.  The troffcvt distribution comes with
  postprocessors that turn troffcvt into various destination formats such
  as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), RTF (Rich Text Format) or plain
  text.

Note that you need a lot of additional packages to compile troffcvt;
everything is available from

  http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/

unroff
______

>From the README file:

  Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with
  a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language.  Unroff is free software
  and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries.

    http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/unroff/unroff.html

You need als Elk, the Scheme based Extension Language Kit, which is
available from

miscellaneous
-------------

. Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from

    http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html

  At present there are examples for

  o creating business cards
  o using groff to make large format posters for presentations

. Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from

    http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html

  Description:

  o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many
    things to ASCII text.  Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new
    sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds
    diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few
    simple grammar checks.  The best way to see what it does is to run it as
    a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the output
    file with the original.

  o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of
    paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of
    specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new
    drop cap.

  o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the
    Australian Journal of Management.  They use the Memorandum Macros (mm)
    of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they
    should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag.
