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 processing 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.
