Hi all,
here's a problem I hope someone can help me with:
For a small fanzine project I want to typeset magazine
style end marks [1]. Particularly I want to include the
authors handle or name in the end mark, like seen for
instance in some articles like in this issue of the
Space Gamer Magazine [2].
So in any case the end mark should be flush right.
Either on the last line of the article, or - if that
line is to long to accomodate the end mark - on the
following line.
In LaTeX I think I could get away with an \hfill, but
from what I understand, flexible horizontal filling
doesn't seem to be a concept in roff land (I might be
utterly wrong about this).
I've tried this:
.de Au
.ta \n((LLuR
.ad l
\[em] \fI\\$1\f
.ad b
..
It works, well, sometimes. When the authors name (given
as parameter $1) is to long, it seems to collide with
the right margin, so a newline is introduced. Also
this construct fails in two column mode and of course
always moves the mark to the following line.
What would be a proper solution?
Thanks in advance!
