[Groff] Number variables in mm

2010-10-12 Thread lxnf98mm

I am just starting to use mm
How do I set the number variables
For example

 N  Numbering style [0:5], default 0.
0 == (default) normal header for all pages.
1 == header replaces footer on first page, header is empty.
2 == page header is removed on the first page.
3 == "section-page" numbering enabled.
4 == page header is removed on the first page.
5 == "section-page" and "section-figure" numbering enabled. See also 
the number-register Sectf and Sectp.

Using ".nr N 2" does nothing that I can tell

Simply say `info groff' on the command line.


And if you're not fond of info's interface, one that only its mother

The problem with global variables is their long range effect,

I like `goto' a lot, and it is an invaluable instruction if used with
care.  The same is true with global variables.  Sorry to say, but we
are now going into hearsay and hollow statements, which isn't helpful.



I may have to look into this C++ stuff. I have only written C and I have 
not figured out how to write multi-threaded applications without global 
variables. And I make good use of goto and longjmp. Apps would be a lot 
junkier without them.
