@nprofile1q... I have been trying to find a use case with GNU roff for a while now. Generating plain text and then looking for a solution different than copy&paste into LibreOffice or any other app offering easy formatting options. At the cost of a huge overhead.

Currently a small snippet of text generated with GNU bc would look more readable in a table and with thousand separators added. Could GNU roff help with that? Thanks.
