                          Troff supports both macro definitions using .de and branching using .if (see pages 5 and 6 of the [Troff user's manual](https://www.troff.org/54.pdf)) . In these two respects, it is very much like TeX. However, I don't know of highly complex programs written in Troff (unlike say TikZ for TeX). Is Troff Turing complete?
