I wonder how good is mandoc's handling of the troff language as such.
The long page that I wrote, though it is based on the old -man macros, is actually to a large extent based on its own macros which are retargettable.
As I started to polish the document for better PDF output, I needed to reach into more of the power of groff, while maintaining compatibility with man2html. That's when I started hacking on man2html to handle more of the troff language. I found that loops didn't work very well and there were issues with nested if/else and such.
