NAME
       groff_mom - groff `mom' macros

SYNOPSIS
       pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroff options]] [groff options] files ...

       groff [-mom] files ...

       groff [-m mom] files ...

DESCRIPTION
       mom  is	a  macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents
       for PDF and PostScript output.

       mom provides two categories of  macros:	macros	for  typesetting,  and
       macros  for document processing.	 The typesetting macros provide access
       to groff's typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to	master
       than groff's primitives.	 The document processing macros provide highly
       customizable markup tags that allow the user to design and output  pro-
       fessional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting intervention.

       Files  processed	 with pdfmom (man(1) pdfmom), with or without the -Tps
       option, produce PDF documents.  The documents  include  a  PDF  outline
       that  appears in the `Contents' panel of document viewers, and may con-
       tain clickable internal and external links.

       When -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to gen-
       erate  the output.  When given, the output is still PDF, but processing
       is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's PostScript driver, grops.
       Not  all PDF features are available when -Tps is given; its primary use
       is to allow processing of files with embedded PostScript images.

       Files processed with groff -mom (or -m mom ) produce PostScript	output
       by default.

       mom  comes  with her own very complete documentation in HTML format.  A
       separate PDF manual, Producing PDFs with groff  and  mom,  covers  full
       mom/PDF usage.
