Follow-up Comment #9, bug#59962 (group groff): [comment #8 comment #8:] > The new macro is a great idea and I agree that it will be > picked up properly very slowly. Is it a GNU extension and > which minimum requirement is attached to it?
The .MR man macro originated as an extension in Plan 9 troff in 2020, which GNU troff then also adopted. In the time since Branden wrote comment #6, groff 1.23 has been released, so this macro is now officially available. > It would be great if there is a web page explaining the use of this > (and the minimum requirements as well) so I could point people to this. I'm not aware of such a page. The groff 1.23 release notes (http://lists.gnu.org/r/info-gnu/2023-07/msg00001.html) cover the syntax of .MR, but this information is buried in the middle of a very long document describing a release with a huge number of changes. And the macro is of course documented in the groff_man(7) man page included with the 1.23 groff release; this is probably the most definitive place to point people. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59962> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
