<p><small>groff</small></p><ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><small><li>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.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>If option
|
|
‘−V’ is used more than once, the commands
|
|
are both printed on standard error and run.
|
|
</li></small></p> </ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><small>troff</small></p><ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><small><li>Two new read-only, string-valued registers
|
|
‘.m’ and ‘.M’ return the name of the
|
|
current drawing and background color,
|
|
respectively.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>New read-only
|
|
register ‘.U’ which is set to 1 if in
|
|
unsafe mode and 0 otherwise.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>An input
|
|
encoding file for latin-5 (a.k.a. ISO 8859-9) has been
|
|
added. Example use:</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><small>groff
|
|
−Tdvi −mlatin5 my_file >
|
|
my_file.dvi</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small>Note that some output
|
|
devices don’t support all glyphs of this
|
|
encoding.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>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.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>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’).</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>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.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>Since version
|
|
1.19 you can say ‘.vs 0’. Older versions
|
|
emit a warning and convert this to
|
|
‘.vs \n[.V]’.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small>This hasn’t been
|
|
documented properly. Note that ‘.vs 0’
|
|
isn’t saved in a diversion since it doesn’t
|
|
result in vertical motion. </li></small></p></ul>

|
implemented. </li></small></p></ul>

<p><small>tbl</small></p><ul>
|
|
|

<p><small><li>New key character ‘x’ to make tbl
|

call a user-defined macro on a table cell. Patch by
|
|
<a href="mailto:hj.oertel@surfeu.de">Heinz-Jürgen Oertel</a>.
|

</li></small></p> </ul>
|
|
|

<p><small>grap2graph</small></p><ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><small><li>A new script contributed by
|
|
<a href="mailto:esr@thyrsus.com">Eric S. Raymond</a>. It
|
|
converts a grap diagram into a cropped image. Since it uses
|
|
gs and the PNM library, virtually all graphics formats are
|
|
available for output. [Note that the grap program itself
|
|
isn’t part of the groff package; see the file
|
|
MORE.STUFF how to obtain grap.] </li></small></p></ul>

<p><small>grohtml</small></p><ul>

output split into multiple files. </li></small></p></ul>

<p><small>grops</small></p><ul>
|
|

<p><small><li>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.</small></p>
|

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>The default

value for the ‘broken’ keyword in the DESC file

is now 0. </li></small></p></ul>

<p><small>grolj4</small></p><ul>

|
|
how fonts are accessed with grolj4.</small></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-top: 1em"><small></li><li>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.

parts, but it is kept in the old single script

style.</small></p> <ul>
