I don't think the cover macros have anything to do
with the header, so this is strage. .PGHN works fine
for me -- note that it should disable the printing of
the header on the _next_ page. Please, provide a
minimal example demonstrating the problem so I will
look at it, but bear in mind it may take me a
while...
Thank you. Here's a small document:
\" process with mm
.PGNH
.PF "''\*(DT''"
.COVER
.TL
title title title title title title
title title title title title title
title title title title title title
.AF "place place place place place place place place"
.AU "author author author author author author author"
.AS
I don't want the cover page to be
numbered at all, or maybe number 0.
I don't want to display the cover page number.
.AE
.COVEND
.MT 4
This is the front page, I want it to be number 1.
I don't want this page number to be shown.
.SK
This should be page 2. From this page onwards,
I want all pages show page number in the header
(default for mm).
It will make 3 pages:
- the cover page
- the front page with some text
- the normal page. All pages starting from
this one are normal pages.
I want the cover page to show no page number,
the front page to show no number, and the
first normal page to show page number 2.
All pages after that I want to be numbered
consequtively.
I'm sure it's achievable. I probably don't
use the macros correctly.
I process this document with just "groff -mm".
I tried "-n" groff command line option
and .pn troff command, but still get the
same result.
Many thanks for your help.
Anton
