Follow-up Comment #19, bug #60061 (group groff): Branden wrote this to me in bug #68500 but it's more pertinent here: ---- As the record elsewhere records, you don't like our Texinfo manual elevati _ms_(7) above other full-service macro packages by presenting it, and only it, in detail. (And, to be fair, I tire of maintaining _three_ copies of its documentation: "doc/groff.texi.in", "doc/ms.ms.in", and "tmac/groff_ms_7.man"). But I've been reluctant to remove it because I've lacked any other example of full-service package usage concrete enough to suit the needs of learners who have a harder time reasoning from the abstractions presented in the preceding "Tutorial for Macro Package Users" chapter.
So my idea was, well, why not take a sample document, like a basic business
letter, and show how to compose it in _each_ of our full-service macro
packages _me_, _mm_, _mom_, and _ms_. _groff_ input goes on the verso page,
and a rasterized image of the full page rendering on the facing recto page.
Then illustrate a basic man page in _man_ and _mdoc_ the same way.
Thus, our new Chapter 4.
