IMHO,
the website pool should not be divided. Instead access to information
should be accomplished by different means.
I dump all my code snippets or running prof of concepts, what I
otherwise would forget, into one directory and find these old samples
later either by file naming or via grep.

If such a website were to exist, it should be divided into

Perhaps the author of the site doesn't think it would fit the site's
scope but it seems to me that troff.org would be the most logical site
to host such a gallery.

Those kinda website have to be invented in the first place, right?

But your point that this is pure troff is spot on. No macro package
required.

That sounds really interesting. If it isn't confidential, I'd love to
see a copy of your exam paper to see how it was made and how you create
two versions in the same document.

You're not bold it's a fair question.
I've worked with LaTeX a lot and also with Word, besides Groff.

a big advantage.
Almost all my exams (being a science

It's not much, but I did some kind of a template for different stuff with groff
that you can find here :
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
