groff for Debian
----------------

As of version 1.17-1, Debian groff comes in three packages, as follows:

  groff-base - a stripped-down groff package containing the components
               required to read man pages in ASCII, Latin-1, and UTF-8
  groff      - most other components, excluding those that depend on the X
               libraries
  groff-x11  - an X-based viewer for groff output plus some related devices

For more information, please see 'dpkg --print-avail <package>' or
'apt-cache show <package>'.

Where is the groff documentation? It's not easy to find when you're
unfamiliar with the system (as I well remember). The 'SEE ALSO' section of
the roff(7) man page has a good index.
