Hi!
I'm currently adding a section about further literature to my short
guide.
While reading the man-pages I stumbled over a few things:
groff_char.man the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) code.
groff.man (7) linkt to http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/54.ps but the
actual file is at
http://cm.bell-labs.com/
This mail might be of interest to the groff community. Is there
someone willing to explore how the PS version of cmex10 could be
integrated into groff to get better scalable delimiters and radical
signs?

Hello. I noticed, that given
.ds U \\s-2UNIX\\s0
in a troff file after -ms, and neither -ms nor that file define a macro .U,
I could do
.U
and it would be replaced with the contents of that string. Is that a feature
of groff? I'd like to clear things up. Thanks.

Doesn't work that way.
If you use:
.de U
.\" troff/groff requests and other stuff here
..
to define macro U, then use
.ds U \\s-1UNIX\\s0
to define a string named U, the namespace conflict causes macro U
to be overwritten by the defined string.
Executing
.U
does nothing because macro U was
Here is what I did:
.ds U \\s-1UNIX\\s0
.U
Here is the command line (pstopdf is the Mac OS X equivalent of ps2pdf):
troff utest | grops | tee utest.ps | pstopdf -i -o utest.pdf
I attached the utest files and the two output files to show you; you may
need to view them in Nabble.

I stand corrected.
I put together a text file as follows.
The first excerpt incorrectly uses the defined string as a macro
call.
The second interpolates the string.
The only difference lies in how the "macro" is interpreted. There
is no white space after "interpolating" the macro, and thus no
12 matches
