Hello alls,
For my last mail about Utmac, it appears that all I wanted to say
can be summarized in a few lines:
- Utmac comes with two files – u-en and u-fr – which are used
to localize strings and typographic details.
- Utmac populates the internal pdf table of contents, and
creates internal links everywhere that makes sense.
- Thanks to nroff, Utmac documents can also be exported to
markdown, plain text, and man formats.
That makes a lot of features, much more than I use on a daily
life. Yet, I needed each of them at least once, and it is when I
realized the work I had done to fulfill my needs that I thought
about publishing it. The publication itself forced me to organize
things and write documentation, which is great. It is very
unlikely people use Utmac as is, but I believe its existence
makes sense nonetheless as a proof of concept: Troff can fulfill
21th century needs.
Kind Regards,
Pierre-Jean.
