One thing I *really* like about groff vs troff/ditroff is the
expansion of macro and other entity names beyond two characters.
Nice job!
I am considering using macros to solve a problem that would be better
if handled in a database, but I don't want to write the software to
do it. However, it would be nice if I could string some multi-line
text together as a single argument to a macro. However, it is not
obvious to me that it can or cannot be done the way I'm thinking. I
have been considering something on this order:
.macro \{
"text line 1, blah blah blah
text line 2, blah blah blah
text line 3, more here"\}
I would like to have the text processed as a single argument to
the macro just as groff would handle:
.macro "argument number one"
and then wrapped and adjusted as with normal text from a
typical input file.
Two questions:
1. Will this work?
2. If not, is there a different, quick-and-easy/dirty way
to do it?
Any opinions out there?
Thanks,
Clarke
