TLDR: So is this how the author tag (.AU) in the -ms macros are supposed to look? (pic at bottom)

So well I am learning *roff I generally been just calling documents to screen with the following command, instead of exporting to a .pdf (I dont even know how to make a .pdf yet, havnt looked into it, and my text book is too old for that, it has you pipe the file to a line printer ( | lpr))

Code:

nroff -ms file-name.ms | less -R



but with the pic im going to post I called it with groff doing this

Code:

groff -ms -T ascii file-name.ms | less -R



just to see if there would be a difference (I didnt discern one)

and I am a little concerned with the way the .AU tags look here, it seems to just be underlined, although it may be italicized as my terminal displays both under-lined and italicized words the same with a broken under line, so I was just wondering if someone could look at this picture and tell me if this is what the .AU tag is actually supposed to do, or is it just looking this way because of the ascii display or something, maybe it will look different if I make it a .pdf?

the bottom left is my source, and the top left is how it is displayed, just ignore the right, thats just my text book






Also, post anything you want about nroff, groff, or troff in this thread (or any other text formatter/processor I guess, like LaTeX)

so yeah, the tag looks better when you export to pdf, and its better to use

-T utf8

then

  -T ascii

when calling it to a terminal
