Hi folks,
I hadn't mentioned it in a while so I wanted to advise people of the
availability of 20 PDF documents I keep up to date with groff's
development in Git. For those who don't want to mess with fetching and
building groff from source, and/or don't subscribe to (or have trouble
following the traffic in) the groff-commit list, this can be a good way
to keep abreast of changes.
It is also useful to see how changes in groff manifest in typeset
documents, where applicable.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/17ftu3z31couf07/AAC_9kq0ZA-Ra2ZhmZFWlLuva
These also feature the latest improvements in my ceaseless wordsmithing
of our documentation. (I discovered two more CSTR #54 errata this week,
for example.)
I keep this stuff in a DropBox account and generally update it every
time I push, so at least once a week on average.
The following manuals are available in PDF:
* GNU Troff Manual (our Texinfo manual)
* the collected groff man pages
* A "me" macro package tutorial (English and French versions)
* A "me" macro package reference
* A "ms" macro package tutorial and reference
* Deri James's "sboxes" reference and exemplar
All of the foregoing are typeset with groff Git HEAD at the time they're
pushed, except the Texinfo manual.
I also use enscript(1) to generate PDF forms of all of groff's ChangeLog
files--the main one, and for each such file in a contrib/ directory.
Finally, as an informal regression test, I maintain a PDF version of our
grodvi(1) man page, formatted with "groff -T dvi".
Please advise this list of any errors or doubtful changes you spot.
Regards,
Branden
