hello people, i finally took some time to write some roff without the help of existing macros set so i could figure out how hard it would maintain my own page layout and macros set.
i got this document: http://mc.aude.re/tmp/r.pdf from this code : https://github.com/eiro/roff-experience Now i'm confident on the fact i can achieve a macro set that can produce this layout but i realized there are a lot of things to implement to get something safe enough to use for my daily basics. So i really wonder what is the good strategy there. i see some: * start a macro set from scratch pro : total control cons: seems to be a lot of work * use me as foundation of my own macro set pro : deal with gory details but not too high level cons: lost control * start from mm, thune and hack it pro : works fine right now, thune later cons: lost control is there a good practice or a common strategy for this situation? are you maintaining your own macro set (at work or for your local clubs for example)? regards, marc
