# This is not intended to produce great output, merely useful output.
# As such, input documents should restrict themselves as follows:
#
# - Attributes cannot be passed on the command line.
# - In-line formatting sequences must not overlap,
# cannot be escaped, and cannot span lines.
# - Heading underlines must match in byte length exactly.
# - Only a small subset of syntax is supported overall.
#
# Also beware that the output has only been tested with GNU troff.
