Description

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.
