<h2><a name="section1">1.</a>&#160;<tt> </tt>Additional Documentation
</h2>
<p>
&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt>For a general overview of
<i>unroff
</i>and a description from the user's perspective, please read the
<a href="./unroff.1.html">manual page</a>
<i>unroff</i>(1)
that accompanies the distribution.<tt> </tt>
In addition, there exists one manual page for each output format
for which a back-end is provided, and another one for each
combination of output format and troff macro package explaining
the translation rules associated with the individual macros.<tt> </tt>
For example, the back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
that is part of the distribution and that supports the
<b>-man
</b>and
<b>-ms
</b>macros comes with these manual pages:
<dl><dt><dd>
<pre>
<a href="./unroff-html.1.html">unroff-html(1)</a>
<a href="./unroff-html-man.1.html">unroff-html-man(1)</a>
<a href="./unroff-html-ms.1.html">unroff-html-ms(1)</a>
</pre>
</dl>
<p>
&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt>This text assumes familiarity with the basic troff and Scheme concepts.<tt> </tt>
For a troff manual, refer to the documentation provided by
your UNIX system's vendor.<tt> </tt>
As
<i>unroff
</i>supports a number of troff extensions introduced by the free
<i>groff
</i>formatter (which is part of the GNU project), you may want to read the
manual page
<i>troff</i>(1)
that is included in the groff distribution.<tt> </tt>
<p>
&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt>&#160;<tt> </tt><i>unroff
</i>is centered around
<i>Elk</i>,
the Scheme-based Extension Language Kit.<tt> </tt>
For a description of the Elk-specific Scheme language features
please refer to the documentation included in the Elk distribution
(which is freely available).<tt> </tt>
An overview of Elk can be found in:
Oliver Laumann and Carsten Bormann, Elk: The Extension Language Kit,
<i>USENIX Computing Systems</i>,
vol. 7, no. 4, pp. 419-449, 1994.<tt> </tt>
The Scheme language is described in several textbooks; and the
Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, on which
the IEEE Standard for Scheme is based, can be downloaded from
several major FTP sites.<tt> </tt>
