Thank you for the link. However I am specifically asking the top-poster
Pierre-Jean how he achieves the following in his utmac-macro:
https://pjfichet.github.io/utroff/pub/layout-uh.pdf
You see that section references are at the start of the document and I wonder
how this can be done as, as far as I know, troff is single pass and therefore a
TOC has to be at the end of a document. In the link I provided you see the TOC
however at the start and I do not thing a postscript re-arrangement of pages is
used.

To fetch for ideas on how to do this or that, maybe can I also point
to my macros, as they'll work with neatroff too, and implement a lot

I installed utmac by downloading it and copying all .tmac - files into
netaroff's tmac directory.
Then I copied para.tr and lorem.tr into the demo directory of neatroff
and executed:
../neatroff/roff -mu-fonts -mus para.tr | ../neatpost/pdf -pa4 >
out.pdf
(also tried for curiosity with muh and mul)
That creates a workable pdf but produces the following error:
neatroff: failed to mount <f-001>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-000>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-001>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-000>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-001>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-000>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-001>
neatroff: failed to mount <f-000>
I suspect I have missing fonts or am I missing another utmac - macro
inclusion?
Your help would be very appreciated. BTW How comes that section headings
work as a forward reference? Can I move with utmac the complete TOC to
the frontmatter without using psutils or the likes?
Best, Johann
Hoping that helps!
Pierre-Jean.
