Thanks, Keith. The spdf tmac was a good find! Note that when I run pdfroff without -mpdfmark and with -ms, groff 1.22.3, it does not handle the pdfhref W's at all. (Links are omitted from the PDF file output.) However, as mentioned, when I use -mspdf, I don't need to invoke -mpdfmark (or obviously, -ms) directly, given that it's mso'ing both of the others. Incidentally, the XN documentation is empty in the current (?) pdfmark.pdf document[1]. It bears mentioning that the invocation replaces the subsequent section name as in the NH invocation: .NH n .XN The section header .LP Now the section... As before I had misread the macro usage as needing: .NH n .XN The section header The section header <-- (nope) . .LP Now the section... Moreover, since "XN" accepts only data on the current line, and NH accepts subsequent lines, this can cause some surprising results with multi-line section names!
