Hi everyone,
I've been trying to figure out how to create A4 documents with
Plan 9 troff. Looking at the source of dpost and the PostScript
output of GNU troff, I found a very easy solution.
1. Call dpost with -P to set the correct page size:
dpost -P '<< /PageSize [ 595 842 ] /ImagingBBox null >> setpagedevice'
2. Use .pl to set the page length:
.pl 29.7c
3. Use .ll (.nr LL with ms) to set the line length:
.nr LL 15.92c \" assuming PO = 1i
This seems to work properly with ms footers, too. The last two steps
have been mentioned on the mailing list before, but I think the first
step is new.
Best regards
John
