Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator
|
|
with a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language.
|
|
|
|
Unroff reads and parses UNIX troff documents and translates the embedded
|
|
markup into a different format. Neither the actual output format nor
|
|
any knowledge about particular troff macro sets (-man, -ms, etc.) are
|
|
hard-wired into unroff. Instead, the translation process is controlled
|
|
by a set of user-supplied procedures written in the Scheme programming
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
Translation rules for new output formats and troff macro packages can
|
|
be added easily by providing a corresponding set of Scheme procedures
|
|
(a `back-end'). Version 1.0 of unroff includes back-ends for translating
|
|
documents using the `man' and `ms' macros into the Hypertext Markup
|
|
Language (HTML) version 2.0. Additional requests facilitate use of
|
|
arbitrary hypertext links in troff documents.
