Re: [groff] groff as the basis for comprehensive documentation?

Hi Ingo,

Arch Linux's user repository, AUR, has
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mandoc/ but it seems the maintainer
has decided to have it conflict with groff: `...this package now
outright conflicts with groff.  mandoc provides the functionality of
both groff and man-db combined; as such, I consider it a full
replacement'.  I've added a comment pointing out that groff might remain
useful.  :-)

That says

     Both Debian and Arch Linux now also use the mandoc formatter for
     their official online manuals.

but I had trouble finding Arch's.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Man_page#Online_man_pages points to
https://manned.org/

I guess you're referring to https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/about
that they use for wiki links, e.g.
https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/utf-8.7
Odd that they don't explicitly reference it AFAICS.
