Re: [Groff] List labels in MM and three argument .ds

Okay, thanks. The fact that there is a space between the two parts of the second argument threw me. I interpreted that to be a third argument. Thanks. Blake McBride On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 2:55 AM, Werner LEMBERG wrote: > > While looking at the MM code I noticed a line: > > > > .ie d misc*st

Greetings, I am having some trouble with groffer that I haven't been able to figure our too easily. If I do: groffer --ps --ps-viewer gv groff everything works fine. But if I do: groffer --ps --ps-viewer evince groff It doesn't display the pages (although "evince file.ps" works fine

Greetings, I think space between list items should be controlled by .PARA_SPACE. But rather than breaking everything out there, perhaps there should be a new macro called .LIST_SPACE that works like .PARA_SPACE but for lists. Without this macro, a user is forced to create their own macro which e
