Hello, I recently decided to use mm instead of ms because it appeared that mm offered far more but I'm having a hard time getting it to do what I want.
With ms things were relatively easy and straight forward. me on the other hand appears to be rather complicated and I seem not to find a documentation describing me as a whole. In particular, I'm missing the information about which macro has to be invoked when, where and in which context together with what other macros. The list of macros in groff_mm might be complete, but I think they are not sufficiently put into relation to understand how to use them. To illustrate my problem, I tried creating a simple letter. In fact, I was left guessing as for which macro goes where, so this might appear completely misconcepted to anyone who actually knows me. I thought I'd have to start with specifying the overall format of the document (this, for example is an information I'd like to see documented: Does something have to be called at the very beginning in order to work. Only ocassionally there are remarks such as "X has to be called immediately after Y"): .LT BL .LO SJ "A subject" .MT 5 \" <--- What *is* a memorandum type? .WA "Me" "Mr." Blümchenstraße 12 .WE .HU "Dear Mr. or Mrs." This is my letter with references\*(Rf .RS Such as this one .RF Now, compiled with "groff -kept -Tps -P-pa4 -dpaper=a4 -m mm" this doesn't look like anything I want. The SUBJECT is on the last page together with the references, The german "SZ" (ß) becomes a \u[00DF] and practically nothing looks like I intended. In lack of a better question: Could anyone help? Regards, Cedric
