I do not. My macros are a bad hack. |quite nice in Troff -- a macro package that provides for something that |most macro packages I have so far known lack. I figured also that this is |the best place to share any ``movements'' in /[GTN]roff/ as the community |is small. | |So, I made an okay-functioning macro package to typeset lists (currently, |only bulleted lists are possible) that can be nested. Each nesting can |have a custom indentation. When a nesting is complete, the macro remembers |how much that custom indentation is and exdents it by the exact same |amount. You can have as many nested orders as desired. See. I have a fixed limit of five levels. (To have named strings which format the numbers / represent the bullets.) |Each bullet can also have some custom bullet characters and all the other |fancy things only obvious in the source code. | |The project is here: https://github.com/katt64/troff-lists (bul.tmac is the |beating heart of it all) |It currently cannot do numbered lists because those are complicated and I |will do them later when I have time. I was indeed impressed by the stack macro -- it is pretty cool as it de-facto creates a type, so to say! This is an idea that not yet crossed my mind. I would surely have implemented it right away to also support strings, so that it becomes real work later if anything needs to be adjusted, though. |Yes, I admit that it does exploit Groff and Troff to the point I could be |arrested for software abuse. But, yes, it's quite a concept. That is ... gigantic. I wonder where my Pixies records are, ..this monkeys gone to heaven. |Rgds, Yes, there has got to be time for that. |Stephanie --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
