At https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff.html (5.37 GNU troff Internals), there is an example using the ".pline" request; this is supposed to display internal nodes:

   printf 'Gi\\[:u]\\%%seppe\n.pline\n' | groff -z 2>&1 | jq

With groff 1.22.4 this fails because groff says .pline is an unknown command.

I thought maybe a.pline request which outputs was added in a more recent release, however "pline" is not described anywhere in the above html manual.

(Also: Was -z or -Z intended?  "jq" is a JSON processor on my system.)
