It has lots of nifty features in addition to suport-
ing  the  five  main  Cyrilic encodings, but none of
those seem to justify the size, which may be due  to
the  reliance  on  some third-party rich-text compo-
nent.  I never cared.

Sometimes I also  use  autonumbered  lists,  tables,
display environments, footnotes, headers, justifica-
tion and hyphenation  (here),  &c.   I  typeset  the
CoreOps newsletter in nroff:

Otherwise,  Vim's "gq" formatter or a similar exter-
nal utility usually does the job.
