miscellaneous
-------------
. Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from
http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html
At present there are examples for
o creating business cards
o using groff to make large format posters for presentations
. Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from
http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html
Description:
o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many
things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new
sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds
diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few
simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it as
a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the output
file with the original.
o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of
paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of
specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new
drop cap.
o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the
Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm)
of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they
should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag.
