description
A Vim filetype plugin for displaying Groff files in a document viewer as determined by the system default or chosen by the user. The document viewer used should auto-reload and preferably support the postscript file format - examples are Zathura, Evince, Okular or Xreader.

Usage, configuration, etc: https://preciouschicken.com/software/vim-groff-viewer/

install details
Install using your preferred plugin manager, for instance with vim-plug:

  Plug 'PreciousChicken/vim-groff-viewer'

or dein.vim:

  call dein#add('PreciousChicken/vim-groff-viewer')

Alternatively manually install using the Linux terminal:

  mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/preciouschicken/start/groff-viewer
  git clone https://github.com/PreciousChicken/vim-groff-viewer.git ~/.vim/pack/preciouschicken/start/groff-viewer

Ensure that you have the line 'filetype plugin on' added to your .vimrc if not already.

Helptags for the plugin can be loaded by using the command ':helptags ALL' when a groff file is open. Help will then be accessible within Vim via ':help groff-viewer'.
