Thanks, Deri! Good stuff! I'm considering making a record-my-desktop video with voice over to summarize the new stuff in groff 1.24.0 (for upload to social media[1]), and this chart is an excellent resource to have available when talking about the new `pdfnote` macro that gropdf supports. Regards, Branden [1] I need to ask Jim Hall for some tips!
