Next: Command Reference, Previous: gtroff Output, Up: gtroff Output [Contents][Index]
During the run of gtroff, the input data is cracked down to the
information on what has to be printed at what position on the intended
device. So the language of the intermediate output format can be quite
small. Its only elements are commands with and without arguments. In
this section, the term command always refers to the intermediate
output language, and never to the gtroff language used for
document formatting. There are commands for positioning and text
writing, for drawing, and for device controlling.
