Hello all, i am picking up my on my own post. It seems the issue was too specific, since i didn't get an answer in the summer. Now i am trying to be very general (even if this is still only a mom-issue..., Peter?).
I cannot reproduce the following example from the mom documentation: ---snip-from-momdoc/headfootpage.html---- Example 1 If you want the same header and footer on every page, here's how you'd do it. .HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS \ +-----------------------+ C "\E*[$TITLE]" \ | Title | L "^\E*[$AUTHOR]#\*[PAGE#]^" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Author Pg. # | +-----------------------+ -----end-snip---------- I am using this file: -------begin-momfile--- .AUTHOR "Jan-Herbert Damm" .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET .TITLE "Test-Document" .PAPER A4 .HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS \ C "\E*[$TITLE]" \ L "^\E*[$AUTHOR]#\*[PAGE#]^" .START some text more text .NEWPAGE another page smore text .NEWPAGE yet another page and more text .NEWPAGE AND AN OTHER ONE ----end-momfile--- i run: groff -mom -P-pa4 test.mom > test.ps or just: groff -mom test.mom > test.ps with the same effect: A regular Docheader on the first page and just lines for headers and footers on subsequent pages. groff-version is: j...@herb:~$ which groff /usr/local/bin/groff j...@herb:~$ /usr/local/bin/groff --version GNU groff version 1.20.1 the file /usr/local/share/groff/.../tmac/om.tmac contains a line stating: version 1.5-c Where am i going wrong? thanks jan
