Betreff: page header for poem book
Hello folks,
I’m having some trouble now in writing my own macro for a page header.
I want to publish a poem book in my own design. So I need your help to
create a header now.
To print the titles of the poems on the odd pages in the right corners
is my goal. The title of the even page in the first line an the title
of the odd page in the second line of the header. Is the poem longer
than one page so the header line is empty respectivly.
My groff example is appended.
Thank you for minding me.
