%K dformat data format CSTR142 %A Jon L. Bentley %C Bell Labs %D April 1988 %T DFORMAT - A Program for Typesetting Data Formats %R CSTR #142 %O 142.ps.gz I started to use the original implementation available here: https://github.com/sathlan/dformat I started to hack on it a little bit * shebang using # /usr/bin/env -S gawk -f * the possibility to add comments with # Then I wanted to add more features and realize someone in this list already did a part of what i was trying to do: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2012-11/msg00027.html This message contains an augmented version of the original paper with a patched version of the original script with the support of a 'shaded' style so it is possible to colorize some frames. Heinz-Jürgen Oertel proposed to add the new version to the groff project but: * the patched version of the script is in the pdf file and a simple copy/paste just ruins the code. * there was no anwser to his message. Before i start to work on it to make it a usable version of dformat, i have some questions: * is there a repo of this version outhere ? * is there a reason no one replied to what I think is a valuable contribution (we should probably write a man page to this using the existing paper). regards, marc
