Import groff-1.19.1. Changes since 1.19: Groff ----- o The argument of the command line option `-I' is now also passed to troff and grops, specifying a directory to search for files on the command line, files named in `so' and `psbb' requests, and files named in \X'ps: file' and \X'ps: import' escapes. o If option `-V' is used more than once, the commands will be both printed on standard error and run. Troff ----- o Two new read-only, string-valued registers `.m' and `.M' return the name of the current drawing and background color, respectively. o New read-only register `.U' which is set to 1 if in safer mode and set to 0 if in unsafe mode. o An input encoding file for latin-5 (a.k.a. ISO 8859-9) has been added. Example use: groff -Tdvi -mlatin5 my_file > my_file.dvi Note that some output devices don't support all glyphs of this encoding. o If the `return' request is called with an argument, it exits twice, namely the current macro and the macro one level higher. This is used to define a wrapper macro for `return' in trace.tmac. o For completeness, two new requests have been added: `dei1' and `ami1'. They are equivalent to `dei' and `ami', respectively, but the macros are executed with compatibility mode off (similar to `de1' and `am1'). o New command line option `-I' to specify a directory for files (both those on the command line and those named in `psbb' requests). This is also handled by the groff wrapper program. o Since version 1.19 you can say `.vs 0'. Older versions emit a warning and convert this to `.vs \n[.V]'. This hasn't been documented properly. Note that `.vs 0' isn't saved in a diversion since it doesn't result in vertical motion. Pic ___ o Dashed and dotted ellipses have been implemented. Tbl --- o New key character `x' to make tbl call a user-defined macro on a table cell. Patch by Heinz-Jürgen Oertel <hj.oertel@surfeu.de>. Grohtml ------- o New option `-j' to emit output splitted into multiple files. Grops ----- o New command line option `-I' to specify a directory to search for files on the command line and files named in \X'ps: import' and \X'ps: file' escapes. This is also handled by the groff wrapper program. o The default value for the `broken' keyword in the DESC file is now 0. Grolj4 ------ o A new man page `lj4_font(5)' documents how fonts are accessed with grolj4. o The built-in fonts for LJ4 and newer PCL 5 devices have been completely revised, mainly to access as much glyphs as possible. The provided metric files should be compatible with recent PCL 5 printers also. Additionally, font description files have been added for the Arial and Times New Roman family, the MS symbol, and Wingdings fonts. Hpftodit -------- o Completely revised to handle HP TrueType metric files also. See the hpftodit manual page for more details. Macro Packages -------------- o www.tmac: New macro `JOBNAME' to split output into multiple files. o In mdoc, multiple calls to `.Lb' are now supported in the LIBRARY section.
