No. I meant that the problem of outputting footnotes on the correct page when they're embedded in diversions that span pages had been addressed in mom. I wasn't refering to interoperability with HT's par-at-once, rather suggesting that if groff were to implement something similar, partial solutions to the issue you raise might be found in mom's way of attacking the problem. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
