The distinction between @code{TROFF} and @code{NROFF} is that
@code{TROFF} was designed to drive a phototypesetter whereas
! @code{NROFF} was designed to produce essentially @sc{ascii} output for a
character-based device similar to a teletypewriter (usually abbreviated
to ``teletype'' or ``tty''). Hence, @code{TROFF} supports much finer
control over output positioning than does @code{NROFF} and can be seen

@code{man} uses machine code, and is a testimony to the quality of the
Emacs Lisp system.
! @code{NROFF} simulates address@hidden characters by using one or more

this. I have recently begun to add support for WoMan to use more of the
characters in its default font and to use a symbol font, and it is an
aspect that I intend to develop further in the near future. It should

Emacs provides an interface to detect automatically the format of a file
and decode it when it is visited. It is used primarily by the
facilities for editing rich (i.e.@: formatted) text, as a way to store
! formatting information transparently as @sc{ascii} markup. WoMan can in
principle use this interface, but it must be configured explicitly.
This use of WoMan does not seem to be particularly advantageous, so it

WoMan provides partial experimental support for special symbols,
initially only for MS-Windows and only for MS-Windows fonts. This

of a separate symbol font. Later, support will be added for other font
types (e.g.@: @code{bdf} fonts) and for the X Window System. In Emacs
