contradiction between "soelim(1)" and the place of the preprocessor "pre

Subject: contradiction between "soelim(1)" and the place of the preprocessor "preconv" in a pipeline
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2024 01:28:04 +0000

  A diagram in the manual of "soelim(1)" shows that the pipeline is

soelim <file> | preprocessors ...

  but an actual pipeline with "preconv"
(groff -mandoc -s -K utf8 -V input) is

preconv -eutf8 input | soelim | troff -mandoc -Tps | grops

  Using the soelim(1) order the pipeline becomes

soelim input | preconv -eutf8 | troff -mandoc -Tps | grops

  Which is the correct order?

  See also bug #59442 (10th November 2020) in
/https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff and use the 'Search' window to
find the bug in the Area 'Bugs'

  If the pipeline is constructed manually, how would it look like?

  Why?
