CHILIGHT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CHILIGHT(1) NAME
chilight -- highlight a C source file SYNOPSIS
chilight [-V] [-f format] [-o file] [-t title] [-w width] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
The chilight utility colorizes the input file, expected to be written in the C language, with text attributes or markups. The options are as follows: -f format Set the output format to format. The format can be one of: ansi_color, ansi_bold, html_color, html_font, roff or tty (the default). -o file Set the output destination to file. -t title Specify the page title for the generated HTML page. -V Print version information on standard output then exit. -w width Set the tab width for the roff style. Tabulator characters are converted to suitable amounts of space characters to gain better typographic quality on roff output. Acceptable values are in the range 1..16 which should be ample for most situations. AUTHORS
Sandro Sigala <sandro@sigala.it> - original version Jukka A. Ukkonen <jau@iki.fi> - roff and tty formats, better handling of #xxx preprocessor directives and some minor changes. BSD

DITROFF(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual DITROFF(7) NAME
ditroff - classical device independent roff DESCRIPTION
The name ditroff once marked a development level of the troff text processing system. In actual roff(7) systems, the name troff is used as a synonym for ditroff. The first roff system was written by Joe Osanna around 1973. It supported only two output devices, the nroff program produced text ori- ented tty output, while the troff program generated graphical output for exactly one output device, the Wang Graphic Systems CAT typeset- ter. In 1979, Brian Kernighan rewrote troff to support more devices by creating an intermediate output format for troff that can be fed into postprocessor programs which actually do the printout on the device. Kernighan's version marks what is known as classical troff today. In order to distinguish it from Osanna's original mono-device version, it was called ditroff (device independent troff) on some systems, though this naming isn't mentioned in the classical documentation. Today, any existing roff system is based on Kernighan's multi-device troff. The distinction between troff and ditroff isn't necessary any longer, for each modern troff provides already the complete functionality of ditroff. On most systems, the name troff is used to denote ditroff. The easiest way to use ditroff is the GNU roff system, groff. The groff(1) program is a wrapper around (di)troff that automatically han- dles postprocessing. SEE ALSO
