Dear GROFF folks! Despite succesfully using GROFF for quite a while, I never happened to use the refer. My recent attempt to start using it revealed a strange groff/refer combination behaviour I really cannot put up with.
Please, correct me if I am wrong, but my impression is that groff cannot print references or a bibliography list, if not compiled together with some macro set: -ms, -mm, etc. I attach a simple example (taken from this mailing list and modified a bit) to illustrate the problem. What am I possibly doing wrong? Since I am used to working with GROFF without any standard macro sets and use my own super-compact macro set serving all my needs, I wish it was a way to print, say, a bibliography list via .[ $LIST$ .] without invoking any standard macros as they may mess with my own ones. Is it possible? At any rate, refer (or any other pre-processor) independence of any macro set looks like a completely natural and logical feature. -- Sincerely, Piotr Piatrou <p.piat...@dragon.bas-net.by> +375 291656636 Институт Физики, Национальная Академия Наук Беларуси
