# DITA to Troff

The "troff" transform produces output files for use with the Troff viewer on many Unix-style platforms, particularly for programs such as the Man page viewer. Each DITA topic document generally corresponds to one troff output file.

The troff output works for most common DITA structures, but does not support table or simpletable elements. Most testing of troff output was done against the Cygwin Linux emulator.
