Lesk 1978-11-13 says: "Date. By default, documents produced on computer terminals have the date at the bottom of each page; documents produced on the typesetter don't." Heirloom Doctools nroff+ms produce a date in the footer for the following simple document; `groff -Tutf8 -ms` does not. .PP Example document. Strictly, even the text line is not necessary to reproduce this behavior. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59826> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
