“Mac” Groff, 93, of Quarryville, passed away on Sunday, January 12, 2020, at Lancaster General Hospital. He was the beloved husband of Cecelia F. (Groff) Groff, with whom he shared 68 years of marriage. Born in Colerain Township, he was the son of the late John Walter Groff, Sr. And Violet (Thompson) Groff.

It is God, who has created each and every thing. Food, hunger, living beings, all of them form the part of God's creation. One should remember God, the omnipresent, who has given both, sweet and sour delicacies to satisfy our taste-buds. Following is the Sloka/ Shloka which can be recited while eating or taking your food. According to Hindhuism food is equal to brahma. Hence we have to chant sloka before taking food.- The sloka and english meaning is given - Spritiual knoweldge According to Hindhuism food is equal. Studies have shown that chanting shlokas helps to improve concentration and memory power in children. That’s because shlokas emit vibrations that activate the chakras (on the face and head) that play a role in learning and focus. Reduce Stress. Chanting shlokas also reduces stress and improves the portions of the brain that develop the. Marathi shlok before eating. समर्थ रामदास स्वामींनी रचलेले २०५ मनाचे श्लोक समर्थ रामदास स्वामी यांनी रचलेले २०५ मनाचे श्लोक (Manache Shlok). Translation(Meaning) in short. 1.A righteous person who eats the food after offered for sacrifice is released from all sins.The others who cook and eat solely for their own sake, eat sin. 2.Oh son of Kunti (Which is Arjuna) whatever you do, eat, offer in sacrifice,giveaway,and practice as austerity.

Creating Documents in Groff or LaTeXYou can create documents for either of Linux's Groff (troff/nroff) or LaTeX (TeX) styles of publishing using any text editor. Red Hat Linux comes with several text editors, or you can download others from the Internet. See the 'Choosing a Text Editor' sidebar for information.The process of creating documents in Groff or LaTeX consists of the following general steps:.Create a document with any text editor. The document will contain text and markup.Format the document using a formatting command that matches the style of the document that you created (for example, with groff or latex). During this step, you may need to indicate that the document contains special content, such as equations ( eqn command), tables ( tbl command), or line drawings ( pic command).Send the document to an output device.

The device may be a printer or display program.If you are used to a word processor with a GUI, you may find these publishing tools difficult. In general, Groff is useful to create man pages for Red Hat Linux. LaTeX is useful if you need to produce mathematical documents, perhaps for publication in a technical journal. Text processing with GroffThe nroff and troff text formatting commands were the first interfaces available for producing typeset quality documents with the UNIX system. They aren't editors; rather, they are commands that you send your text through, with the result being formatted pages:.nroff ( Produces formatted plain text and includes the ability to do pagination, indents, and text justification, as well as other features.troff ( Produces typeset text, including everything nroff can do, plus the ability to produce different fonts and spacing The troff command also supports kerning. Choosing a Text EditorHardcore UNIX/Linux users tend to edit files with either the vi or emacs text editor.

These editors have been around a long time and are hard to learn, but efficient to use. (Your fingers never leave the keyboard.) The emacs editor has some GUI support, though it will run fine in a Terminal window. There are also GUI versions of vi and emacs that add menu and mouse features to the editors. These are GVim ( gvim command in the vim-X11 package) and Xemacs ( xemacs command) editors.Some of the other, simpler text editors that can run on your graphical desktop are:.gedit ( gedit command) — This text editor, which comes with Red Hat, is the lightweight text editor for GNOME. It has simple edit functions (cut, copy, paste, and select all) and settings let you set indentations and word wrap. Special functions, such as a spell checker and a diff feature are included. You can start gedit by typing gedit from a Terminal window.

It also has simple edit functions (cut, copy, paste, undo, and help). Other edit features let you set indents, find/replace text, and select all text. This comes with the KDE desktop, so you can access it by selecting Accessories? More Accessories? Kwrite.Text Editor ( kedit command) — Another simple text editor. Features let you open files from your file system or from a URL.

It also includes a convenient toolbar and a spell checker. It comes with the KDE desktop, so you can access it by selecting Accessories? The maze free online.

Because Linux man pages are formatted and output in Groff, most of the examples here help you create and print man pages with Groff.People rarely use primitive nroff/troff markup. Instead, there are common macro packages that simplify creating nroff/troff formatted documents, which include:.man — The man macros are used to create Linux man pages.

You can format a man page using the -man option to the groff command.mm — The mm macros (memorandum macros) were created to produce memos, letters, and technical white papers. This macro package includes macros for creating a table of contents, lists of figures, references, and other features that are helpful for producing technical documents. You can format an mm document using the -mm groff option.me — The me macros were popular for producing memos and technical papers on Berkeley UNIX systems. Format an me document using the -me groff option.Groff macro packages are stored in /usr/share/groff/./tmac. The man macros are called from the an.tmac file, mm macros are from m.tmac, and me macros are from e.tmac. The naming convention for each macro package is xxx.tmac, where the xxx is replaced by one or more letters representing the macro package. In each case, you can understand the name of the macro package by adding an m to the beginning of the file suffix.Tip?Instead of noting a specific macro package, you can use -mandoc to choose a macro package.When you run the groff formatting command, you can indicate on the command line which macro packages you are using.

You can also indicate that the document should be run through any of the following commands that preprocess text for special formats:.eqn — This preprocessor formats macros that produce equations in groff.pic — This preprocessor formats macros that create simple line drawings in groff.tbl — This preprocessor formats macros that produce tables within groff.The formatted Groff document is output for a particular device type. The device can be a printer, a window, or (for plain text) your shell. Here are output forms supported by Groff:.ps — Produces PostScript output for PostScript printer or a PostScript previewer.lj4 — Produces output for an HP LaserJet4 printer or other PCL5-compatible printer.ascii — Produces plain-text output that can be viewed from a Terminal window.dvi — Produces output in TeX dvi, to output to a variety of devices described later.X75 — Produces output for an X11 75 dots/inch previewer.X100 — Produces output for an X11 100 dots/inch previewer.latin1 — Produces typewriter-like output using the ISO Latin-1 character set. Formatting and printing documents with GroffYou can try formatting and printing an existing Groff document using any man pages on your Red Hat Linux system (such as those in /usr/share/man/.). (Those man pages are compressed, so you can copy them to a temporary directory and unzip them to try out Groff.)These commands copy the chown man page to the /tmp directory and unzips it.

Then, groff formats the chown man page in plain text so you can page through it on your screen.$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/chown.1.gz /tmp$ gunzip /tmp/chown.1.gz$ groff -Tascii -man /tmp/chown.1 lessIn the previous example, the chown man page ( chown.1.gz) is copied to the /tmp directory, is unzipped (using gunzip), and is output in plain text ( -Tascii) using the man macros ( -man). The output is piped to less, to page through it on your screen. Instead of piping to less ( less), you could direct the output to a file ( /tmp/chown.txt).To format a man page for typesetting, you could specify PostScript or HP LaserJet output. You should either direct the output to a file or to a printer. Here are a couple of examples: $ groff -Tps -man /tmp/chown.1 /tmp/chown.ps$ groff -Tlj4 -man -l /tmp/chown.1The first example creates PostScript output ( -Tps) and directs it to a file called /tmp/chown.ps.

That file can be read by a PostScript previewer (such as ghostscript) or sent to a printer ( lpr /tmp/chown.ps). The next example creates HP LaserJet output ( -Tlj4) and directs it to the default printer ( -l option).

Figure 6-3: Simple markup is required to create man pages.Tip?Most man pages are stored in subdirectories of /usr/share/man. Before you create a man page, refer to similar man pages to see the markup and the headings they include. In man1 are commands; man2 has system calls; man3 has library functions; man4 has special device files ( /dev/.); man5 has file formats; man6 has games; man7 has miscellaneous components; and man8 has administrative commands.A few other kinds of macros are used in the man page. The.IP macros format indented paragraphs for things such as options.

The man page also contains some lower-level font requests; for example, fB says to change the current font to bold, fI changes the font to italic, and fR changes it back to regular font. (This markup is better than asking for a particular font type because it just changes to bold, italic, or regular for the current font.) Figure 6-4 shows what the waycool man page looks like after it is formatted with groff. Figure 6-4: Man page formatting adds headers and lays out the page of text. $ groff -man -Tps -l waycool.1Table 6-1 lists the macros that you can use on your man pages. These macros are described on the man(7) manual page (type man 7 man to view that page).Table 6-1: Man MacrosMacroDescription.BBold.BIBold, then italics (alternate).BRBold, then roman (alternating).DTSet default tabs.HPBegin a hanging indent.IItalics.IBItalics, then bold (alternating).IPBegin hanging tag.

Creating a letter, memo, or white paper with GroffMemorandum macros (which are used with the -mm option of Groff) were once popular among UNIX users for producing technical documents, letters, and memos. Although more modern word processors with a variety of WYSIWYG templates have made mm outdated, in a pinch mm can still be a quick way to create a typeset-style document in a text environment.To format and print (to a PostScript printer) a document with mm macros, use the following:$ groff -mm -Tps -l letter.mmThe following is a simple example of how to use mm macros to produce a letter.WA 'Christopher T.

Adding equations, tables, and picturesTo interpret special macros for equations, tables, and line drawings, you can run separate commands ( eqn, tbl, and pic commands) on the file before you run the groff command. Alternatively, you can add options to the groff command line to have the file preprocessed automatically by any of the commands ( -e for eqn, -t for tbl, and -p for pic).Here are some examples of EQN, TBL, and PIC markup included in a Groff document.

The first example shows an equation that can be processed by eqn for a Groff document.EQa mark = 30.EN.sp.EQa sup 2 + b sup 2lineup = 1000.EN.sp.EQx sup 3 + y sup 3 + z sup 3lineup = 1400.ENIf this appeared in a memo called memoeqn.mm, the memo would be preprocessed by eqn and then sent to the printer using the following command:$ groff -Tps -l -mm -e memoeqn.mmAll data between the.EQ and.EN macros are interpreted as equations.
