Well, I tried google... and... :( That's why I asked. I actually know how to do the numbering of eqs, figures, tables (all the same principle, I use a ~10-line awk/sed script to do this), chapters (for this slightly modified .NH is ok). I know to use 'refer' for references (I believe it won't be hard to write a script to translate bibtech references to refer's), even index production shouldn't be difficult with the help of Bentley's paper (and I guess I even won't need this right now). I have only hesitated over the way (as described in my original, 1st, post) how references that *depend on physical placement* of certain text are to be coped with. (As with my page headings; or---probably even harder so that at least 2-runs of troff are inevitable---references to page numbers where sth is mentioned. But I really need just the headings now.) Thanks! Ruda
