My world premier macro pair is below! What would you do to improve
them? In particular, what should I do to make them work across page
boundaries?
The intention is to number a -ms DS display, a la eqn. Input
.Ds (5)
.DS I
Lorem Ipsum
.DE
.De
Output
Lorem Ipsum (5)
When the first line of the display is the first line on the
page -- and only then -- the Ds argument is printed too low by about
1.5 vs.
Here they are:
[macros]
.de Ds \" macro to add display number to DS
.ds Dq \\$1
.mk Dp
..
.de De \" used after .DE
.mk \" hold that thought
.\" go to position before display + display length
.rt ( \\n(Dpu + \\n(dnu )
.rj 1
\\*(Dq
.br
.rt \" resume
..
[sorcam]
Many thanks for your help.
