DESCRIPTION

16       mom  is  a  macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents
17       for PDF and PostScript output.
18
19       mom provides two categories of  macros:  macros  for  typesetting,  and
20       macros  for document processing.  The typesetting macros provide access
21       to groff's typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to  master
22       than groff's primitives.  The document processing macros provide highly
23       customizable markup tags that allow the user to design and output  pro‐
24       fessional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting intervention.
25
26       Files  processed  with pdfmom (man(1) pdfmom), with or without the -Tps
27       option, produce PDF documents.  The documents  include  a  PDF  outline
28       that  appears in the ‘Contents’ panel of document viewers, and may con‐
29       tain clickable internal and external links.
30
31       When -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to gen‐
32       erate  the output.  When given, the output is still PDF, but processing
33       is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's PostScript driver, grops.
34       Not  all PDF features are available when -Tps is given; its primary use
35       is to allow processing of files with embedded PostScript images.
36
37       Files processed with groff -mom (or -m mom ) produce PostScript  output
38       by default.
39
40       mom  comes  with her own very complete documentation in HTML format.  A
41       separate PDF manual, Producing PDFs with groff  and  mom,  covers  full
42       mom/PDF usage.
