Follow-up Comment #20, bug #60061 (group groff): Your plan as quoted in comment #19 sounds solid.
The goal being to introduce roff concepts, not to familiarize the user with
every full-service macro packages, I do wonder if four examples of the same
thing are necessary. Two packages with fairly contrasting syntax--mom and
pretty much any one of the historical ones--ought to get across the concepts
you want to convey.
(You might wonder how I reconcile the above with my complaint in comment #18
that the manual seems to favor one package over the others; the above plan
would single out two packages and omit two others, which you might claim could
still feel like favoritism. But I believe that showing limited examples,
clearly presented _as_ examples, carries a far different implication than
documenting the entirety of one package but nothing of any of the others.)
