formulae for `troff(1)` and `man(1)`\n=============================================\n\nWhether you love man pages or the Troff typesetting system itself, you've come to the right place.\n\nThis is a “tap” for [Homebrew](https://brew.sh), the unofficial package manager for macOS.\nWe'll gauchely assume you know what we're talking about.\nIf not, see [`brew(1)`](https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage) or their [online documentation](https://brew.sh/) for more info on getting started.\n\n\nInstalling\n----------\n\nTo grab hold of these formulae, run:\n\n\tbrew tap alhadis/troff\n\nThen install any of them at your leisure:\n\n\tbrew install alhadis/troff/man-db\n\tbrew install heirloom-doctools\n\n**Note:** Some of these formulae are already available from Homebrew's core, but [require configuration](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/36981#issuecomment-464290531) before use.\nThis tap replaces them with DWIM equivalents, ones which require no `PATH`-fiddling after installation.\nA complication of this is that `alhadis/troff/` must prefix the formula's name when installed.\nOthers can be installed normally (e.g., `heirloom-doctools` as illustrated above).\n\n\nAvailable formulae\n------------------\n*\t[`awf`](http://doc.cat-v.org/henry_spencer/awf/):\n\tThe Amazingly Workable Formatter, a partial `nroff(1)` clone written in
