Groff documentation, provided on your system after you install:

groff --help: a usage summary of options and arguments
man groff: Extensive explanations and examples of usage
info groff: A textbook explaining how to use groff in every aspect
A paper on grohtml

Please also see the README, and other documents referenced therein, provided with the groff source (sometimes installed to /usr/share/doc/groff*), the Groff Wiki page, the online manual, and this page.

Mailing Lists

Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT (provided with the groff source); the idea of this is to make sure that we have all the information we need to fix the bug. At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that you supply all the information that it asks for. Even if you are not sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.

Groff now has three mailing lists:

<bug-groff@gnu.org> for reporting bugs.
<groff@gnu.org> for general discussing all things groff.
<groff-commit@gnu.org> a read-only list showing changes to the CVS repository.

To subscribe to any Groff mailing list, please send an empty mail with a Subject: header line of subscribe to the relevant -request list. For example, to subscribe yourself to the main list, you would send mail to <groff-request@gnu.org> with no body and a Subject: header line of only subscribe.

Mailing lists archives can be found at the following locations:
