Re: Is there a Groff showcase?

You're not bold it's a fair question. I've worked with LaTeX a lot and also with Word, besides Groff. Groff outshines the alternatives by far in my humble opinion. Why? For me the ability to create pictures, graphs and tables all text based is a big advantage. Almost all my exams (being a science

Darris, I'm by no means an expert, but I'll be happy to help. Question 2: Are you using a macro package like ms, mm or mom? These packages could provide a footnote and you can fill the footnote with your full citation (see for instance the mom-documentation on this topic). Question 1: From

Unexpected behaviour when using linenumbering and tbl

Dear All, When I make exams I sometimes use linenumbering so I can refer to a specific line of a source. I noticed some unexpected behaviour when having a table after the part that has linenumbers. The table also gets linenumbers added, which should not be the case of course. I can reproduce

[mmse] Adding a footnote yields a infinite loop.

Dear all, I noticed that when using mmse it seems to give an error when adding a footnote. Groff terminates with the following error message: "fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop)" I can reproduce it with: groff -Tpdf -mmse SE.groff > SE.pdf Kind regards, Hans cat
