[Groff] About header and footer
Who please teach me how to add the header (or footer) which is NOT shown in the first page of each section. P.S I am suing groff with -ms. Thanks a lot Luke
Re: [Groff] About header and footer
Thanks. But, it seems not to solve my problem. I guess you misunderstood my requirement. But, that's my fault.Sorry for my poor English that make you confused;) My problem is that, I defined header with .CH, .LH ... macros, and use a .bp to start a section (or chapter ) in a new page. I don't want the header show in the first page of each section, in the following pages, it's there. Thanks Luke

Hey,
Both works. I prefer to the one from Gaius. Anyway, thanks a lot to you

[Groff] How to draw a colorful circle/box with colorful text
>From the manual, I learn a way like this, .PS r=0.1 circle rad r "\s-2A\s+2" shaded "red" outline "green" .PE This works, but is not satisfying enough for me. In this case, it draws a circle with green text (what I need) and green edge (*NOT* what I need). My question is: how to draw a circle with red shade and red edge, while the text is green? Thanks a lot for any reply.
[Groff] groff -mm output something I don't expect
Hi all, I ``troff'' a simple file, hello.mm whose content is: .\" hello.mm Hello World! with the command line: $ /usr/local/bin/groff -mm hello.mm > hello.ps and opened it with ``evince'', then I found there are two short bars in topleft and topright corners of the page. I searched from google, it seems that nobody complained this yet so that I was wondering I missed something in the commandline or in hello.mm, could you please tell me. BTW: I tried this with groff and Heirloom doctool in both OpenSolaris and Linux, the result are the same. Thanks and all the best Luke
Re: [Groff] groff -mm output something I don't expect
Wow, there were so many masters of troff/groff answering my stupid question. Thanks a lot. You are all right, ``mm'' macro of the newest groff has *NOTHING* wrong. However, current version of evince does its job as well. After one day's inverstigation, I found the problem is caused by the old ``mmt'' macro shipped with OpenSolaris. So, why does groff use the old ``mmt'' instead of its m.tmac. I found that when I run ``configure ; make ; make install'', if there are already macros under /usr/share/lib/tmac, groff will not generate a m.tmacfile,instead, italwaysuses``mmt''under /usr/share/lib/tmac. As a workaround, I run ``groff -mgm hello.mm'' that generate an expected postscript file. The different between two ps file are: $ diff hello.ps ~/tmp/hello.ps 3c3 < %%CreationDate: Fri Nov 14 17:07:26 2008 --- > %%CreationDate: Fri Nov 14 11:24:46 2008 233,234c233,234 < /F0 10/[EMAIL PROTECTED] SF 524.18(-- --)0 10 R 2.5(-1-)277.006 58 S < (Hello w)69.336 106 Q(orld!)-.1 E 524.18(-- --)0 801.5 R 0 Cg EP --- > /F0 10/[EMAIL PROTECTED] SF 2.5(-1-)277.006 48 S(Hello w)69.336 96 Q(orld!) > -.1 E 0 Cg EP You can see that, the ``mmt'' version has a line: /F0 10/[EMAIL PROTECTED] SF 524.18(-- --)0 10 R 2.5(-1-)277.006 58 S this results in the two short bars I mentioned. Another workaround might be ``mv'' or ``rm'' /usr/share/lib/tmac and then build groff, from then on, groff will always use its mm macro package. The ``mmt'' macro shipped with Heirloom generates the two short bars as well. To me it seems that this macro has this issue for a long time. suprisingly, nobody has complained about or asked this issue. Thanks again Luke

Great, thanks! Luke

Then, how can I disable this feature when I use mm of traditional troff?\*F .FS Sorry for asking a question not about groff in a groff mailing list. .FE Luke
Re: [Groff] groff -mm output something I don't expect
> This is a feature of the original mm macro set, intended to show where > to cut a continuous sheet of paper into individual pages! By the way, after reading code of mmt macro, I have found an *ugly* way to disable this feature, disabling macro )k that generates the output of two short bars. The problem is many other macros use )k, I don't know what other feature will be broken by doing this. Could you please tell me a correct method? Thanks Luke
