Dear All, I was in search of the macros for writing indented and bulleted lists. While groff_mm contains the macro BL which is explained as "Begin bulleted list" and groff_me has "(l begin list" and ")l end list", I was a bit baffled how groff_ms successfully hides its list feature from the user: Under ".IP" it only says "Set a pagraph with a left indentation."
My suggestion: Can we make a small insertion to the effect: "Set a paragraph with a left indentation; used for typesetting bulleted lists." or similar? It would be nice if searches for the same purpose could be done by the same key words across the major macro packages. By the way, utp-1.0 explains the list macros for ms by saying: The .IP macro produces an entire paragraph indented from the left margin. This is especially useful for constructing lists, in which a mark of some kind (e.g., a letter or number) extends into the left margin. Thanks and best regards, Oliver. -- Dr. Oliver Corff mailto:oliver.co...@email.de
