Uhm, thats a "port" of a long-available UNIX text processor. 8-)

NAME
     troff - typeset or format documents

SYNOPSIS
     troff [ -a ]  [ -f ]  [ -Fdir ]  [ -i ]  [ -mname ]  [ -nN ]
     [  -olist  ]  [ -raN ]  [ -sN ]  [ -Tdest ]  [ -uN ]  [ -z ]
     [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     troff formats text in the filenames for typesetting or laser
     printing.  Input  to  troff  is  expected to consist of text
     interspersed with formatting  requests  and  macros.  If  no
     filename  argument is present, troff reads standard input. A
     minus sign (-) as a filename indicates that  standard  input
     should be read at that point in the list of input files.

     The output of troff is usually  piped  through  dpost(1)  to
     create a printable postscript file (see EXAMPLES).
