periodic reminder you can make pdfs with just cmark and groff, both of which are tiny and the latter of which is part of most unix base systems

no monstrous latex distro necessary, no gigabyes of haskell compiler and libraries to build pandoc, just a couple of little C tools and you're good to go. libk generates its manpages and pdf docs this way: https://c.comint.su/libk/artifact/e0a00cdd85feb725

@velartrill iirc "the go programming language" is typeset with groff and some awk scripts :)

@bonifartius @velartrill is it any troff-nroff or groff in particular

@meeper @bonifartius are any others still around? i thought groff was the only game in town these days, maybe that's linux provincialism lol

@velartrill @bonifartius heirloom doctools are pretty nice
