He probably means HTML output, and indeed, groff shows a lot of weaknesses for this output device since nobody takes care to make mdoc work well for hypertext. Unfortunately, I'm really swamped with work and have to share my spare time with a lot of other projects and some private life. On the other hand, there is already Eric's `doclifter' stuff which, as far as I know, does a good job. IMHO it would make more sense to work on this tool than to write something new (since Eric apparently has no time or interest currently to work on doclifter). http://catb.org/~esr/doclifter/ Werner
