Is there a Groff showcase?
Hello, Not a technical question, so I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to post. I'd like to know if a showcase of Groff typeset documents exists anywhere on the internet? Kind regards, Mike

It's not much, but I did some kind of a template for different stuff with groff that you can find here : https://t.karchnu.fr/doc/grofftut.pdf Not sure it's what you're looking for.

Thank you Philippe. That is an interesting resource, thank you for sharing it with me. I was thinking of a website or web page which demonstrates the extent of groff's capabilities. If there isn't anything like this, currently. Has this been considered? I have only just learned of groff. The manual is awesome (though tough reading for me in places). groff does so much more than I first imagined. I don't know if this aligns with the goals of the contributors, but examples of some well-designed, finished documents might attract new users and potential contributors. Forgive me for being bold, I am just thinking out loud. Mike
Updating eqn
I have been using GNU eqn for formatting equations on my experimental social media site conntects.net. In the process I came across a couple of bugs when in MathML mode: * The lower case Greek letter xi didn't work. * The approximately equal sign didn't work. I cloned your repo and found the bugs and fixed them on my machine. I'd like to know the proper procedure to send the fixes back your way. I have not contributed to a GNU project before. Also, I'm contemplating making a version of eqn which supports far more symbols. I was figuring on just using the TeX names without the annoying backslashes and adding them to the list of pre-made macros. (Actually, I'd do a separate list in order to be able to turn off this feature.) The procedure looks pretty straightforward. Should I just make this an independent fork or does such an extension sound interesting? (And one of these days I'd like to support cube roots and subscripts and superscripts on the left side of symbols. I'd like to bring eqn's capabilities closer to those of TeX. I hate typing in all those backslashes.) Sincerely, Carl Milsted

You just do a subscript or superscript of nothing immediately preceding the primary subject, e.g. to produce a left subscript of 'x': "" sub 3 x Thanks - Damian Pacific Engineering Systems International . 20D Grose St, Glebe NSW 2037 Ph:+61-2-8571-0847 ..
