Hi all, following up on my previous email I'd like to test the attached patch (replace_psselect.patch) with groff, but am uncertain how to trigger the patched code path. If I read src/preproc/html/html.am correctly then pre-html.cpp is compiled into pre-grohtml. I'm uncertain how pre-grohtml is

Hi all, from what I understand the "psselect" command is used by the groff html preprocessor to extract *a single page* from a multi-page Postscript document. I think the same could be achieved using ghostscript, which groff already depends on and uses. Note that I know little about psutils,
