6 After having typset my diploma thesis with Latex, the choice for
|
|
meillo@147
|
7 troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt.

9 I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
|
|
meillo@147
|
10 and built upon the
|
|
meillo@147
|
11 .I ms
|
|
meillo@147
|
12 macro package.
|
|
meillo@147
|
13 To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
|
|
meillo@147
|
14 clumpsy parts of ms.
|
|
meillo@147
|
15 My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
|
|
meillo@147
|
16 Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
|
|
meillo@147
|
17 portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
|
|
meillo@147
|
18 occasionally.
