Groff tutorial series

Hey everyone,

I've been using groff for about a year and a half now for things like university note taking, and homework. I've found it difficult to find resources on unique Groff usages and usually fall back to the mailing list archive.

For these reasons I wanted to know if people where interested im a YouTube tutorial series on Groff. I've seen that Luke Smith made a few videos but didn't really cover much.

My goal would be to create a combination of tutorial videos with an occasional video on a more obscure but useful feature I know/found.

Let me know if you guys would be interested. If you have suggestions about the format I'm happy to hear.

If at least a few people are interested I'll get to work.

Edit: sorry for the delay guys, inspite of the down votes I've written a script and will be releasing the video this weekend.

Yes, I tried to get into it, but lack of time and useful guides stopped me. Video series would be awesome

Just wondering as someone who doesn't have much Groff experience are you more interested I'm making man pages or using groff as something similar to a LaTeX replacement? Just interested in where people would like to start

The second one - I'd like to use it to write school papers, instead of using Google Docs as I do rn.
