groff
- 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.
- If option `-V' is used
more than once, the commands are both printed on standard
error and run.
troff
- Two new read-only, string-valued registers `.m' and
`.M' return the name of the current drawing and background
color, respectively.
- New read-only register
`.U' which is set to 1 if in safer mode and set
to 0 if in unsafe mode.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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').
- 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.
- 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
- Dashed and dotted ellipses have been implemented.
tbl
- New key character `x' to make tbl call a
user-defined macro on a table cell. Patch by
Heinz-Jürgen Oertel.
grap2graph
- A new script contributed by
Eric S. Raymond. 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.]
grohtml
- New option `-j' to emit output split into multiple
files.
grops
- 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.
- The default value for
the `broken' keyword in the DESC file is now 0.
grolj4
- A new man page `lj4_font(5)' documents how fonts are
accessed with grolj4.
- 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.
afmtodit
- New option `-x' to prevent use of built-in Adobe
Glyph List.
hpftodit
- Completely revised to handle HP TrueType metric
files also. See the hpftodit manual page for more details.
groffer
- This version is a rewrite of groffer in many parts,
but it is kept in the old single script style.
- New options: --text (--mode text),
--tty-viewer, --X (--mode X), --X-viewer, --html
(--mode html), --html-view, --apropos-data,
--apropos-devel, --apropos-progs.
- New documentation file
README_SH.
- Enhancement of the
configuration files and the `apropos' handling.
macro packages
- www.tmac: New macro `JOBNAME' to split output into
multiple files.
- In mdoc, multiple calls
to `.Lb' are now supported in the LIBRARY section.
