DESCRIPTION¶
mom is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents for
PDF and PostScript output.
mom provides two categories of macros: macros for typesetting, and macros
for document processing. The typesetting macros provide access to groff's
typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to master than groff's
primitives. The document processing macros provide highly customizable markup
tags that allow the user to design and output professional-looking documents
with a minimum of typesetting intervention.
Files processed with
pdfmom (man(1)
pdfmom), with or without the
-T
ps option, produce PDF documents. The documents include a PDF outline
that appears in the ‘Contents’ panel of document viewers, and
may contain clickable internal and external links.
When -T
ps is absent,
groff's native PDF driver,
gropdf, is
used to generate the output. When given, the output is still PDF, but
processing is passed over to
pdfroff, which uses
groff's
PostScript driver,
grops. Not all PDF features are available when
-T
ps is given; its primary use is to allow processing of files with
embedded PostScript images.
Files processed with
groff -mom (or
-m mom ) produce
PostScript output by default.
mom comes with her own very complete documentation in HTML format. A separate
PDF manual,
Producing PDFs with groff and mom, covers full mom/PDF
usage.
