--- Begin Message ---Hello, usually, when writting drafts for somebody else to review, its useful to have line numbers printed at the beginning of each line. How would you implement that in troff? I never written a macro in troff, so some basic pointers would be enough for me (e.g. some good troff book). Thanks, -- Hugo
