> Can a diversion be spit out and fed to another one? Yes, that's no problem. The only thing to keep in mind when "replaying" one diversion into another is to do this (normally) in no-fill mode, so as not to re-format already-formatted material. If you want to save material unformatted for formatting at a later time, it's better to use ".de" instead of ".di".

Widow control is more complicated. For example, the concept of "keeping two lines together" implies that you need a method of counting the lines in a formatted paragraph. An experimental method hijacking troff's automatic line-numbering mechanism (and using diversions) to do this is explained in this posting: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2003-01/msg00024.html _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
