I do use troff, and hence deroff | spell, for class papers (provided no collaboration is needed, else I use TeX). Nothing special. Actually, I have been meaning to write a mdoc-like macro set useful for paper writing, because I find myself missing its rules for punctuation and such when using -me... Currently I use base OpenBSD spell very often, but it doesn't work with high-bit characters. Haven't gotten around to looking at alternatives yet. Also, your demandoc(1) looks great, and it fixes some real issues I have encountered with deroff(1). -- Anthony J. Bentley
