Has anyone tried feeding this to ClaudeAI to see what it says? I asked if
itcould do groff and its response included the following:
What I Can Create
- Complete man page templates
- Formatted technical documentation
- Tables and lists
- Custom macro definitions
- Complex formatting with multiple columns
- Mathematical equations (with eqn preprocessor)
- Diagrams (with pic preprocessor)
- Tables (with tbl preprocessor)
It would be interesting to see what it can do, no?meg

Yes, thank you. I already downloaded busgrap some time ago, but didn't
yet look into it.
And also thanks for the example, there is a lot to read waiting for me
slow reader...
