This subchapter looks at
troff is used to format text for print.
In 1970 Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson traded the promise to add text processing capabilities to UNIX for the use of a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11/20. The initial version of UNIX, a text editor, and a text formatting program called roff were all written in PDP-11/20 assembly language.
Soon afterwards roff evolved into troff with full typesetting capability.
Coding example: I am making heavily documented and explained open source code for a method to play music for free — almost any song, no subscription fees, no download costs, no advertisements, all completely legal. This is done by building a front-end to YouTube (which checks the copyright permissions for you).
