No ready solutions that I know of. I don't use refer myself, so haven't had an opportunity, yet, to explore its possible compatibility with mom. Perhaps someone else on the list can assist? I'll be at least looking at it sometime next week, but can't make any promises for the immediate future. BTW -- I'm putting cross-referencing in mom on hold for the time being, while I ponder what Keith Marshall and Robert Goulding wrote on the subject. Also for the time being, I'm leaving the DROPCAP macro in mom as is. My feeling is that it provides sufficient flexibility and control (family, font, color, number of lines, space between dropcap and text, pseudo-condensing, pseudo-extending), plus its routine for generating a cap of the right height does a bang-on job. What it doesn't provide is automatically slanted left-margins for A, V, W, etc caps, but for me, that's something best done by eyeballing. I hope to make a new release of the package within the next couple of weeks, time allowing. It will add mom-native line numbering capabilities, plus a more flexible handling of leading and equalized spacing around verbatim quotes (poetry, code snippets) and blockquotes. If not in this release then in the next one, I hope to add floats and keeps as well. And I still have to look at implementing Werner's margin notes macro in a way that's consistent with mom. -- Peter Schaffter Author of _The Schumann Proof_ (RendezVous Press, Canada) http://www.golden.net/~ptpi/theschumannproof.html _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
