Do not automatically postprocess troff output in the usual manner. This will cause the intermediate output to appear on stdout; see groff_out(5). Please commit. Werner ___ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org

will groff *ever* incorporate shrinkable vertical, and, much more important, horizontal space? All other concerns aside, the only quibble I've ever had with groff as a typesetting engine is that, as Werner reminds us, groff's paragraph formatting algorithm isn't all that sophisticated.

Have you ever seen such a song in 7/4 rhythm? With other words, the melody is fine, but the text is `pants' (this is the British word I get for the German `grottenschlecht' :-) Sounds about right! You must have a fairly good dictionary of modern British slang, for my Consise Oxford

A couple of bugs affecting collating, tables of contents and lists crept into mom during the 1.3 cycle. I've got them fixed (I hope), and committed the fixes (version 1.3-e_3) to the repository and posted a mom tarball on her homepage. If anyone's experienced problems, I suggest upgrading. --

We also have the slang word `grotty', with similar meaning, and presumably from the same Germanic root; in a `groff' context, the connotation is somewhat unfortunate :-) You think you have a problem. I must be one of the few people named after a groff program. Hehe. It's not only you
