Re: [Groff] Refer and mysterious comma

Hi Tadziu,

- space between %D and a following comma from %P.
- space before the full stop when %P is not used.

try following the date with a "\c", too:

  \\*([D\c


Thanks very much for that! With your explanation regarding \c, it's  
now clear how this works out!


For aesthetics you might also want something like

 .if !"\\*([P"" \{.tr -\(en
 , S. \\*([P\c
 .tr -- \}

if you have page ranges specified as "78-85".


Thanks also. I incorporated this but since I'm only providing start  
pages, it's of no use for me.

Werner, any Ideas if and how to integrate this "fix" into e.tmac? I  
can provide diffs so at least the english version will work out right.  
Any ideas how to provide proper german refer support (if that is  
wanted within groff)?


:wq! PoC
