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
       professional-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
       contain clickable internal and external links.

       When -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to
       generate 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.
