     DOCGEN(1)                                               DOCGEN(1)

     NAME
          docgen - generate a document from a script

     SYNOPSIS
          docgen [ option ] ...  [ ofile ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Docgen guides interactive preparation of standard documents
          according to canned scripts and places the output in ofile.
          The output typically takes the form of troff(1) input.
          These options invoke standard scripts:

          -mcs Bell Labs cover sheet; output (`temp.cover' by default)
               may be typeset thus: troff temp.cover

          -ms  (default) all kinds of document known to the macro
               package ms(7); output (`temp' by default) may be type-
               set thus: troff -ms temp

          -mm  similarly for the MM macro package of System V

          Other options are:

          -f file
               take script from file

          -v   (verbose) print document as it is generated

          -d   (debug) print information about the script as it is
               read

          The reference tells how to construct scripts.
