Summary: [ms]: Documention neglects to mention FP macro Project: GNU troff Submitted by: keithmarshall Submitted on: Sat 07 Aug 2021 09:31:22 PM UTC Category: Macro - ms Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Internally, groff's s.tmac defines a macro called "FP", and uses it to control the printing of footnotes. At the point of definition, I see: .\" This can be redefined. It gets a second argument of 'no' if the .\" first argument was supplied by the user, rather than automatically. .de FP ... To me, this suggests that the intention is to provide a hook, (albeit inconsistent with other ms implementations — e.g. Plan-9's ms manpage documents an FP macro associated with font positions), whereby the user may choose to modify the appearance of footnotes, yet the documentation (neither manpage, nor info) has absolutely no mention of it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61022> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
