Older engineers know (or once knew) some *roff... Not so much the younger ones. A whole generation went through college without learning much of anything about Unix/Linux, sadly. I work with a lot of fairly decent engineers who don't really understand why you should partition your disk or do your daily work under a UID other than root... This would be another advantage of a GUI front end -- it removes some of the fear that a head-on first meeting with groff can elicit. I've seen a lot of people learn HTML because they could start with something like DreamWeaver and gradually move to doing straight HTML coding... Personally, I loathe GUI front-ends... One of the great advantages of XML/Docbook is that one can have a single set of source documents and everyone can choose the authoring environment they want -- graphical or character, virtually any O/S platform... So people who want to work on Windoze with a graphical editor can have their way without forcing me to work in such a loathesome environment ;-) _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
