I've never used it for manpage rendering though! A simple `awk'

experience with it :)
Right, and in my experience it would be completely unsuitable. :)
Now, don't get me wrong, I love Lout and and when I need a batch
formatter it's what I use unless there are strong overriding reasons.
But it's *way* slower than roff or tex (remember, that troff and tex
are macro processors, while lout uses a functional language).
