so today were going to take a look at writing a man page now this is actually a very very simple process but theres a few things you do need to keep in mind to actually make sure your man page is useful so if you know to the channel you know what to do and lets jump right into it now the first thing to note is that there are a couple of different ways to write man pages all of them will be compiled down into what were working with today but you can do things like make man pages with pearl doc or with markdown or with HTML and then convert them into what were working with today now the problem were doing it through that method instead of just writing it in the native language were working with is that if you have any compilation errors or anything thats not really compiling the way it should look in a man page its going to be very difficult to fix unless you know how to actually write in the style that you write for man pages so were going to be working directly with troff to

More Linux resources In Vim, a macro is a feature that allows you to record a sequence of commands that you use to perform a given task. You then execute that macro many times to repeat the same job in an automated way.
Groff is basically used to create man pages. But its functionality is not limited to creating man pages, rather it acts as a formatting and typesetting engine. It acts as a compiler for the input supplied to it and it creates a formatted document as its output.
troff features commands to designate fonts, spacing, paragraphs, margins, footnotes and more. Unlike many other text formatters, troff can position characters arbitrarily on a page, even overlapping them, and has a fully programmable input language.
The ms macro package is designed to help you format letters, proposals, memos, technical papers, and reports. For simple documents such as letters, ms offers few advantages to the basic format requests described in Chapter 4.
troff features commands to designate fonts, spacing, paragraphs, margins, footnotes and more. Unlike many other text formatters, troff can position characters arbitrarily on a page, even overlapping them, and has a fully programmable input language.
Description. The nroff and troff commands format text for printing by interspersing the text with control sequences. Control sequences are either control line requests or escape requests that control text processing by the printing device.
Description. The troff command reads one or more files and formats the text for printing on a phototypesetter or comparable device. A postprocessor is then required to post process the output of the troff command to the target device.
At the same time, the summer of 1969, Doug McIlroy rewrote roff in BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language by Martin Richards, 1966), extending and simplifying it at the same time. It was McIlroys version that first Joe Ossanna and, after his death, Brian Kernighan turned into the troff we still use.
The nroff and troff commands format text for printing by interspersing the text with control sequences. Control sequences are either control line requests or escape requests that control text processing by the printing device.
A macro is a collection of troff primitives or requests. In this chapter, the man macro package (used to format the man, or manual, pages in the UNIX system) is examined and used as an example for other macro packages.
