Are there plans to support the [tng]roff family? This is very handy
when part of an SGML document will be included as a chapter in
a TeX document, the same SGML document will be used to generate
UNIX manual pages for online help purposes.

I do not have much spare time but I can miss some :-).
Could someone point me to
information in which is explained how support in OpenJade can
be added for another backend. I'm willing to add support
to OpenJade for groff.
(Ofcourse I read the Jade documentation, but reading the header
and source files does not help in figuring out the structure
of the source.)

regards,

pieter
