# Text Junior Readme

This is tjr ("Text Junior"), a program that pre-processes a crazy-simple line-based input format as *roff output (tested with groff).

This readme file is also a test input for tjr.  It was created with this command:

```

    ./tjr readme-source.tjr | groff -Tascii > readme.txt

```

## Why use Groff?

Groff already knows how to do stuff like text filling and justification.

So why would we want to duplicate that work?

We wouldn't.

### This is a sub-heading

The first stable version, 1.04, was announced in November 1991. groff was developed as free software to provide an easily obtained replacement for the standard AT&T troff/nroff package, which at the time was proprietary, and was not always available even on branded UNIX systems.

### Preformatted text

Also known code blocks, these chunks are so pleasant to look at:

```

 _   _      

| | (_)     

| |_ _ _ __ 

| __| | '__|

| |_| | |   

 \__| |_|   

   _/ |     

  |__/      

```

Gosh, Figlet makes everything feel wonderful.

### How about a nice quote?

"""

You know how the biggest paragraphs always get a lot of attention and the little verbs and nouns go into the cave to explode?

Well, that's how it goes.

Don't worry about it.

-Text Junior

"""

That's about it.

Really.

Enjoy?
