  <conbody>
    <p>Each DITA topic generally produces one troff output file. The <option>troff</option> transformation supports most
      common DITA structures, but it does not support <xmlelement>table</xmlelement> or
        <xmlelement>simpletable</xmlelement> elements. Most testing of troff output was performed using the Cygwin Linux
      emulator.</p>
    <p>To run the troff transformation, set the <parmname>transtype</parmname> parameter to <option>troff</option>, or
      pass the <parmname>--format</parmname>=<option>troff</option> option to the <cmdname>dita</cmdname> command
      line.</p>
