DESCRIPTION
Wr is a document writer that knows how to convert a simple
format to one of raw text (for manual pages), troff source, LaTeX
source, HTML, PostScript or PDF. It knows how to handle figures
(including [cite pic(1)] source) and tables.
The output file(s) are generated in the directory where the
command is run, unless flag -o is used to indicate an output
file. In this case, output file(s) are generated in the directory
of the indicated output file, and this may include extra files
for figures using the output file name as a prefix.
The input file may have any name, but the suggested extension is
.w for all wr input files.
EXAMPLES
Generate text output for a file:
; wr file
Generate output for many of them
; lf -g , | wr
Generate html and place the output at another directory
(including any auxiliary files for figures):
; wr -h -o /dest/dir/out.html file
Besides the file mentioned in the see-also section, all manual
pages are also examples of the input format.

language.
BUGS
Wr does not generate PDF nor images on its own. For figures, wr
relies on convert (from imagemagick) and a few scripts contained
in both ghostscript and TeX to generate and convert EPS files. If
there are errors while compiling a document with images, it might
be that some of these packages are missing. Installing
+o Ghostscript-9.18.pkg, and
+o ImageMagick-6.9.1-0.pkg
seem to suffice for OSX hosts, and you should add
+o mactex-20150613.pkg
if you want LaTeX with pdflatex to compile generated TeX.
