JFYI, I am working on porting/adjust roff macros used in D&I book to make them compatible with heirloom doctools in parallel with the translation work because heirloom doctools has better support of UTF-8 and pnon-English font set. The modified MS macro and most of other small macros worked with some minor modifications though refer(1) in heirloom lacks flexibility in style specification. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Wed_May_24_08_55_56_2017_111)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEABECAAYFAlkkzAwACgkQTyzT2CeTzy2riQCeP6Y12fcBWvEMXbxdUtsfuXRY OkYAoJBJKxkmMkSb3JnhjWdGnp1Any4F =FemV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Wed_May_24_08_55_56_2017_111)----
