Dear All, one question: is it possible to redefine the papersize _during_ a *roff run? Simple idea: I have a text with a few huge tables, best viewed in landscape mode, and rather than seeing the tables being truncated or producing separate pdf files with different paper settings a temporary redefinition of the paper size would be appreciated.
Let's assume the table is enclosed in a keep, then, if it is possible to aquire the dimensions of the table, the keep can be issued on a separate page, and once the keep processed, regular paper size is resumed. It does not matter that such a file becomes virtually unprintable on an ordinary printer. Just imagine some online journals distributed as PDF which have similar displays, e.g. of maps and centerfolds. Of course, I can typeset the table separately and assemble the pdf pages by hand, but a solution totally controlled from within the groff file would be great. Best regards, Oliver.
