A general answer -- sort of ;-)
I was involved in some trial projects converting *roff
text to sgml and xml. Automated scripts did a fairly
decent job with some exceptions, like tables.
We had to make some arbitrary decisions. For example,
in *roff, we marked text as bold, italic, etc, but in t

Hi list,
Last days I've been thinking about if Troff (& Tex/LaTeX) could be

is for XML:

I've often used these registers in tables. Re-initialising the
register inside the table works for me. Ted's example comes out
right as follows:
\#.LP
.nr EQno 0 1
