Hello, I'm using refer to print out an annotated bibliography, and would like for the annotation paragraph to contain troff commands for paragraph breaks, and maybe even pic diagrams or code fragments. However, refer turns the annotation text into one long string defined using the .ds command and all troff commands are lost; e.g.,
%X First paragraph of annnotation. .LP Second paragraph of annotation. Is translated by refer into: .ds [X First paragraph of annnotation. .LP Second paragraph of annotation. It would be handy if instead it produced: .de [X First paragraph of annnotation. .LP Second paragraph of annotation. .. Right now, I have a little script that picks out all occurrences of .LP, .PP, .QP, and .XP and puts the line breaks back, but I'm at the point where I need to do more elaborate things that require the text itself to be displayed "as-is", and also use other troff commands and macros that have variable numbers of arguments. Scripting around this problem is proving difficult and esthetically displeasing. Anyone know of any way to circumvent this problem?
