When I heard this request, there sprang into my head full-blown a design
for a troff facility that takes sections like this:
.CH
rnbqkbnr
pppppppp
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
PPPPPPPP
RNBQKBNR
.CE
and turns them into chess diagrams. First I imagined a preprocessor
generating pic, then I realized this could probably be written as a macro
using .tr.
I conclude from this that I've been thinking about Troff too much.
