DESCRIPTION

       mom is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents for PDF and PostScript output.

       mom  provides  two categories of macros: macros for typesetting, and macros for document processing.  The typesetting macros provide access
       to groff's typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to master than groff's primitives.	The  document  processing  macros  provide
       highly  customizable  markup  tags  that  allow	the user to design and output professional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting
       intervention.

       Files processed with pdfmom (man(1) pdfmom), with or without the -Tps option, produce PDF documents.  The documents include a  PDF  outline
       that appears in the 'Contents' panel of document viewers, and may contain clickable internal and external links.

       When  -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to generate the output.  When given, the output is still PDF, but process-
       ing is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's PostScript driver, grops.  Not all PDF features are available when  -Tps  is  given;  its
       primary use is to allow processing of files with embedded PostScript images.

       Files processed with groff -mom (or -m mom ) produce PostScript output by default.

       mom  comes  with her own very complete documentation in HTML format.  A separate PDF manual, Producing PDFs with groff and mom, covers full
       mom/PDF usage.
