Does anyone know an easy way to make groff generate multipage PS or PDF output? Around 40 years ago, I used "mpage" to portrait two A5 pages onto landscape A4, even double sided, so I could print a compact manual on an A4 printer. (ISTR that we then used a few coats of PVA glue to bind the folded pages, making a little booklet.) I figure I can use a handful of lines of Awk to preprocess my Vimmed source text to troff directives like ".I", and ".B" - not sure if anything else is useful, except selecting font and size. Why groff? Well, Latex and Lout documentation seems to be exclusively language specification, and at 70, reams of that takes too long to climb on top of. All I need is a couple of pages of examples, hold the fries. This is a superb start, I think: https://josh8.com/blog/typesetting_with_groff.html But multipage would be nifty. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
