Re: [Groff] Poll on macros

[Dean Allen Provins]

Fellow groffers:

For what it is worth, I use the 'ms' macro set for nearly everything (I
occasionally use OpenOffice.org for short letters).  In particular, I
used it for my recent thesis as I was able to adapt it to meet all
formatting requirements, plus a few `touches' of my own (a very nice
index of authors, words and phrases, plus every table and figure in the
document).

On another note, I haven't given up on the 'groff' -> 'RIF' conversion that
I raised a few weeks ago.  I've been looking at Gaius' intermediate
output (for HTML) and think I'll have a go at something similar.  My C++
is barely passable, but I'll never master it sitting on the sidelines.
Note:  this project may take a while, and I'd like to adapt the Python
RTF code that I mentioned in a past note to this task (unless I hear
strong objections from this community).

Regards from Calgary

Dean
