Dear all of you,
There is something I would like to know how to do, if it is at all
possible:
I'd like to use a macro like
.BX text
a macro as an escape sequence. I'd like to use that in strings in pic
or eqn
Is this possible? I recall that I once used a request that way, but I
don't remember how.
It's not an escape sequence but you can define your own primitives in
eqn with `special` (see eqn(1)) and for pic you could use `command` to
use troff macros (see pic(1)).
Maybe this can achieve what you need.
Best,
Thomas
