Hey Chris, Thanks so much for your answer.
Indeed, the Stackoverflow question is mine :). Is a bad behavior to post in multiple forums / lists?. Regarding the topic, I have seen the groff source code, and although some pre-processors like `eqn` and `pic` are using bison, groff itself and 95% of the code is written in C++ ( please correct me if I'm wrong! ). That's why I'm wondering if its really a good idea to use it. Thanks again!
