Maybe there should be a macro package and/or document that collects tricks and techniques such as this one that would be part of the groff package? www.gnu.org/software/groff/#documentation does not list much in the way of documentation www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/ could add a "Tricks and Techniques" section that would collect gems such as this one. or maybe add this trick to www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/Manipulating-Hyphenation.html It, and many like it, deserve a better fate than "lost in folk-lore". -- Mike Bianchi Foveal Systems 973 822-2085 mbian...@foveal.com http://www.AutoAuditorium.com http://www.FovealMounts.com
