Follow-up Comment #8, bug #60061 (project groff):
commit 2c652e943affb8b665ff225eb56dcbb34162957c

doc/groff.texi: Drop stub-heavy chapters.
The "Preprocessors" and "Output Devices" chapters were mostly stubs for
content to be added later, and have been for years. What content was
already present duplicated existing groff man pages (except for a
reference to Ted Faber's "grap" implementation, which is also documented
in the "MORE.STUFF" file).
Drop this material to reduce reader frustration with incomplete
sections. Replace internal Texinfo @*ref commands with "@cite"s of man
pages where necessary.
