That bug concerned pdfms.tmac which operated as an addon (in the same way as spdf.tmac was an addon to pdfmark.tmac, which required the user to use the newer NH/XN combination rather than the original NH to create bookmarks). Given that most historical ms documents would use NH (with XS/XE if a TOC was required), I wanted to make s.tmac support them without adding non roffish flag letters to macro calls. The use of ".pdfhref M" to "mark" a position in the document is unfortunate, I would prefer a native ms macro such as:- .XM name [text] instead. This could also obviate the need for dual working tricks based on testing PDFFEAT. I didn't feel confident whether extending the s.tmac repertoire of commands was really my choice. The pdfms bug was the "breeding ground" for the code in this bug, and allowed you to straighten out the numerous bugs in .asciify upon which this code relies. So, it does supercede the original bug. > Revising Summary; see > [https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2026-04/msg00061.html mailinglist > cogitation]. I'm happy. Although I must admit to being a bit flummoxed, but if you are happy to zoom in and correct my mistaken tags, I shan't worry. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68299> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
