Thanks. I expected this was true. I am spoiled by troff because I can
generate so many output formats that look almost identical - postscript,
ascii text, and html using troff2html tool from Mick Farmer. I use the
ASCII output specially for sending e-mail attachments.
I am trying tr2latex and tr2tex now for use in converting my troff stuff
to lyx. They don't seem to be working. Importing the latex generates
lots of red text like \par. Strange.
