hello groff people, Since 2009, I wrote most of my talks using a simple vim plugin of mine:
https://github.com/eiro/slides.vim when conference runners ask for slides, I write do a screenshot for all the slides and convert -o slides.pdf *.png which isn't convenient and the resulting pdf is heavy for nothing. so I wondered if I can use .nf for each slides and a sed script to add a page break at the end of each slides. https://github.com/eiro/slides.vim/blob/master/test.roff I have 3 problems here: * rendering the utf-8 symbols that are not supported by roff famillies * remove the extra spaces between lines (because I use symbols like │ or ─ to write diagrams and tables) * monospace positionning is ruined by the byte sizes of the utf-8 symbols. before I try to fix those all, I would like to know your feeling about it: * how far am I from a decent solution ? * should I try to script something to transform a ascii diagram to a pic source ? (it seems to me the simplest thing is just to fix the current rendering) thanks for any food for thought regards -- Marc Chantreux Pôle CESAR (Calcul et services avancés à la recherche) Université de Strasbourg 14 rue René Descartes, BP 80010, 67084 STRASBOURG CEDEX 03.68.85.60.79
