[bug #57556] Feature request: enforce left and right minimums as required by hyphenation patterns

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57556 (project groff): Subsequent comments in that bug are also relevant to this one (and probably really belong here). Of particular note is the observation that groff has several language-specific setup files but lacks one for English, but that tmac/troffrc seems to

Re: Observations using utmac

Hi Pierre, What I meant was that PDF features like hyperlinks and navigation menus can be achieved using a standard PostScript interpreter—you don't need a dedicated *roff-to-PDF converter if your Troff of choice already supports high-quality PostScript output. Moreover, the PostScript code I

Re: [DRAFT] Revised groff ms manual for review

You didn't say what kind of book you're talking about, unfortunately. I have a range of projects on the go but thought I would start by trying to replicate the style you see in The Unix Programming Environment. I'm aware that MOM does a lot to help with book length projects, but I'd like

Hi Branden, I think you're a bit overfocused on how few *languages* use ` when the focus should be on how many *manuals* use `. There are many. And ` is not separable from ', which is used by far far more. On Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 9:18 PM G. Branden Robinson wrote: > > Does POD even provide a
