When writing documents in vim, it’s nice to have a quick way of compiling them into the desired formats. In my case, I compile my groff files into pdfs while at the same time having a preview in zathura. Zathura automatically detects changes in pdfs and reloads accordingly, which is nice.

Writing a resume in groff can seem difficult, but rest assured it can easily be accomplished, and in this guide I will show how a simple resume can be created. In this guide I will use the macro set ms, so remember to compile the document using ‑ms. This guide will also use the tbl program to create tables, so remember to first compile the document in tbl.

Learn simple macros to add footnotes, blockquotes, lists, subheads, and other formatting for your class papers.

The simple approach to using install-font.sh to install fonts for groff probably works for almost everybody.

This is a brief explanation of how to choose which macro package to use with the Unix typesetting system troff (or groff).
