.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Neatroff
is an extended version of AT&T
.IR ditroff ,
supporting TrueType/OpenType fonts
and whole-paragraph formatting.
.I Neatroff
requires the user to construct the pipeline
to format a document.
For example:
.EX
.sp
cat mydoc.t | neateqn | neatroff -ms -Tutf | neatpost | ps2pdf - mydoc.pdf
.EE
.SS Extensions
The following are the most important
.I neatroff
extensions:
.IP \[bu] 3
Like GNU
.IR troff ,
.I neatroff
supports names of arbitrary length for
requests, macro names, number registers, and string variables.
.IP \[bu]
.I Neatroff
supports UTF-8 input
without the need for a preprocessor.
.IP \[bu]
The ``dir'' branch of
.I neatroff
supports right-to-left typesetting
for languages requiring it.
.IP \[bu]
To enable whole-paragraph formatting, add
.B p
in front of the adjustment specification; for example,
.B "ad pb"
fully justifies paragraphs with advanced filling.
Finally, in the ``dir'' branch,
.B "ad k"
supports Kashideh justification.
