@acronym{AT&T} @code{troff} was designed to take input as it would be
composed on a typewriter, including the teletypewriters used as early
-computer terminals, and relieve the user of having to be concerned
-during the drafting process with the precise line length that the final
-version of the document would use, where words should be hyphenated, and
-how to achieve straight margins on both the left and right sides of the
-page. Early in its development, the program gained the ability to
-prepare output for a phototypesetter; a document could then be prepared
-for output to either a teletypewriter, a phototypesetter, or both. GNU
-@code{troff} continues this tradition of permitting an author to compose
-a single master version of a document which can then be rendered for a
-variety of output formats or devices.
