Hi Steve,

And when you've finished writing, do you not look at an output and spot
problems due to concentrating on the content?  It's also troff input,
e.g. `.\&', and although that shouldn't interrupt your flow when
writing, it does need to be considered in some pass.

Only if you've no errors in the first place, errors that might not show
up if you don't check a formatted output, or check only one.
