Technical issues lead:
Werner Lemberg.
Groff documentation is provided by the ‘man’ (man groff at the shell prompt) and ‘info’ (info groff at the shell prompt) pages on your system after you install groff. Please also see the README and other documents referenced therein provided with the groff source, as well as doc/groff.texinfo, and the Groff Wiki page.
Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT (provided with the groff source); the idea of this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix the bug. At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that you supply all the information that it asks for. Even if you are not sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.
Groff now has three mailing lists:
To subscribe to any Groff mailing list, please send an empty mail with a Subject: header line of ‘subscribe’ to the relevant -request list. For example, to subscribe yourself to the main list, you would send mail to <groff-request@gnu.org> with no body and a Subject: header line of only ‘subscribe.’
Return to the GNU Project home page.
Please send FSF & GNU inquiries to
gnu@gnu.org.
There are also other ways to
contact the FSF.
Please send broken links and other corrections (or suggestions)
to sinuhe@gnu.org,
or the groff mailing list.
