-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Would like to create a very simple table macro.
eg., .de TABLE .TS box expand; l s l l. \fI\\$1\fP .. This does not work though other similarly crafted macros do. It 'starts' the macro at the macro definition. Do I need to escape it? Also, if I just do: .de TABLE box expand; l s l l. \fI\\$1\fP .. Then call with .TS .TABLE "Macro Junk" column1 column2 .TE I get: tbl:final_rpt.roff:369: `.' not last character on line tbl:final_rpt.roff:369: giving up on this table Just hoping to save some typing.
