Re: [Groff] Unformatted diversion?

[Miklos Somogyi]

Gents, before you take a dim view of the orgy of colours in this  
example, it is about manuals, not white
scientific papers. I can do these too (sorry, I could).
And it is about to show as many aspect of it as poss, from which users  
may select two or three :-)

Werner, at the bottom of the third page there is 3-liner PS. Currently  
I read them in from a file into a macro
somehow without interpretation and dump it in the ps auxiliary  
of .end_under1 routine where it is dumped.
It works well, but I don't like the idea of hundreds of such little  
snippets lying around outside the groff program.

If I were to include such stuff (that includes references to just set  
number registers) then there are 2 questions:
a) How to get this ps code to the right place without pre-evaluated.

b) At the top of page 2 are the .end_macro1 parameters. If possible, I  
would like to see .end_under1
clever enough to see that the 5th parameter is the name of a file to  
be read-in, or a macro/whatever that
only needs to be dumped.

If too difficult, I can introduce a sixth parameter ...
