- Groff and mom: an overview
A pdf document covering basic groff and mom concepts; in addition, provides a good example of what can be accomplished in terms of typography and design - Examples of some source files
- Samples of the finished product:
Mom reflects my firm belief that documentation is integral to good programming.
Mom’s html documentation (included in the .tgz packages on this site and in groff releases) is extensive, carefully written, takes nothing for granted, and is cross-referenced with hundreds of links to ease navigation. The html files contain no graphics or other froo-froo to slow down page loading.
Quite a number of people have asked that I put the documentation on line. It’s the same documentation installed on your system if you already have groff (see man groff_mom for its exact location).

Examples of some source files
Typesetting
Mom is primarily designed to format documents based on semantic tags that identify paragraphs, heads, subheads, citations and so on. However, she can be used to typeset material manually, where elements of typographic style and page layout are entirely set by the user.
\# Most mom users rely on mom's document processing macros to \# format their work. The doc processing macros take care of all \# things typographic and are simple, clear and easy to learn. \# The kind of "by hand" typesetting this file shows off is really \# geared toward professional typographers. Bear in mind, though, \# that the full power of mom's typesetting capabilities can be \# brought to bear on document processing as well. \# \# Basic page setup \# .PAGE 8.5i 11i \" Printer sheet size .L_MARGIN 1i \" Left margin 1 inch .R_MARGIN 1i \" Right margin 1 inch (calculates the line length) \# \# Basic type parameters \# .FAMILY T \" Times Roman family .FT B \" Bold font .PT_SIZE 12 \" Point size .LS 14 \" Leading (line spacing) .LEFT \" Set lines flush left, nofill mode \# \# Refinements \# .HY \" Hyphenate .KERN \" Automatic pairwise kerning .LIGATURES \" Automatic ligature generation .SMARTQUOTES \" Enable smartquotes .SS 0 \" No extra space between sentences \# .ALD 1i-1v \" Advance 1 inch from top of paper to first baseline Example 1\*[BU 2]: .ALD .25v \" Advance an extra 1/4 linespace .UNDERSCORE 3.75p "T\*[BU 4]asting notes using padding, string tabs \ and multi-columns" \# .SP \" Add an extra line space \# .FAM H \" Helvetica family .PT_SIZE 10 .LS 11 \" New leading \# \# The following uses a combination of padding, string tabs, \# and the FWD escape to set up five tabs with 1-pica gutters \# stretched over the full line length. \# .SILENT \" Don't print the next line .PAD "\*[ST1]VIN#\*[ST1X]\*[FWD 1P]\*[ST2]ROBE#\*[ST2X]\*[FWD 1P]\*[ST3]NEZ#\*[ST3X]\*[FWD 1P]\*[ST4]BOUCHE#\*[ST4X]\*[FWD 1P]\*[ST5]COMMENTAIRES\*[ST5X]" .SILENT OFF \" Resume normal printing of text \# \# Now that the string tabs have been marked off, we "set" them. \# .ST 1 L \" First string tab flush left, nofill mode (no need for .BR's between input lines) .ST 2 L QUAD \" Remaining tabs are flush left/rag right, fill mode .ST 3 L QUAD .ST 4 L QUAD .ST 5 L QUAD \# .TAB 1 \" Call first tab .UNDERSCORE "VIN" .TN \" Move to next tab and stay on the same baseline .UNDERSCORE "ROBE" .TN \" Ibid .UNDERSCORE "NEZ" .TN \" Ibid .UNDERSCORE "BOUCHE" .TN \" Ibid .UNDERSCORE "COMMENTAIRES" .TQ \" Quit tabs \# .ALD 6p \" Advance an extra 6 points .FT R \" Change font to roman (medium) .MCO \" Turn multi-column mode on \# .TAB 1 \" Notice that this tab gets set line-for-line \*[IT]Peelee Island \" Set italic \*[PREV]Gewürztraminer \" Revert to former font (roman) 2000 (Canada) .MCR \" Return to top of column .TAB 2 \" Call tab 2; in multi-column mode, don't use .TN Jaune pâle. .MCR .TB 3 \" Notice that from here on, we use the alias TB instead of TAB Frais, fruité, ci\%tronné, arômes fortes de lichee et de fruits tropicaux. .MCR .TB 4 Doux, fruité, bien équilibré avec une bonne acidité. .MCR .TB 5 Bon apéro.

Formatted article
This example demonstrates some of mom’s formatting capabilities, as well as showing the use of “control macros” (a stylesheet) to design the appearance of a document.
\# A sample academic article, set in two columns with a 1.5-pica \# gutter between them. This example uses QUOTES, BLOCKQUOTES and \# FOOTNOTES. \# \# In order to accomodate the narrow measure of the columns, \# there's also a demonstration of things you can change with both \# the typesetting macros and the document processing "control \# macros". \# \# Since the text throughout is greeked, and groff doesn't know \# how to hyphenate all that pseudo-Latinate nonsense, I've \# inserted discretionary hyphens (\%) into a large number of the \# the words. Normally, this isn't necessary. \# \# Reference macros \# .TITLE "CONTROL EQUALS CHAOS" .SUBTITLE "\*[ALD1]The Psychological and Auditory \ Impact of Serial vs. Aleatoric Music\*[RLD1]" .AUTHOR "Joe Chang" "and" "Brad Hegel Connors" .COPYRIGHT "2004 J.
