NAME
     vnroff - Vietnamese pre-processor for groff

SYNTAX
     vnroff filename | groff [groff-options]

DESCRIPTION
     This  program  processes  a text file with special Vietnamese character se-
     quences (VIQR syntax) giving an output suitable  for  groff(1)  processing.
     The output should work for all point sizes supported by groff(1)

     The default diacritical marks are defined as:
	  Dau_Sac	  '
	    Dau_Huyen	    `
	    Dau_Hoi	    ?
	    Dau_Nga	    ~
	    Dau_Nang	    .
	    Dau_Mu	    ^
	    Dau_Trang	    (
	    Dau_Rau	    +
	    Escape_Symbol   \

SPELLING RULES
     Only one diacritical mark:
	  vowel followed by symbol

     Two diacritical marks:
	  vowel followed by Dau_Mu, Dau_Trang, Dau_Rau then other symbols.

     DD and dd: self-explanatory,
	 the resulting case is the same as the first character of the sequence.

     The  Escape_Symbol is provided to avoid the confusion between the diacriti-
     cal marks and end-of-sentence symbols.
	  i.e: the question	      Anh ddi dda^u?
	       should be typed	      Anh ddi dda^u\?
