10 This is a preview release of a proposed pdfmark.tmac macro package,
11 for use with GNU troff (groff). It is not yet complete, and should
12 be considered as an alpha release; there are a few problems to be
13 resolved (see file PROBLEMS).
15 Partial documentation is provided, in groff-ms format. To convert
16 this to PDF format, you will require a working groff installation,
17 a working ghostscript installation, with the gs command in your PATH,
18 and a GNU-compatible make. The tarball should be unpacked in the
19 top directory of your groff source tree, then:
21 cd <groff-current>/contrib/pdfmark
24 where <groff-current> is the top directory of your current groff
27 Included in this package, are:
29 pdfmark.tmac -- the core pdfmark macro set
30 spdf.tmac -- a rudimentary set of bindings for ms macros
31 pdfmark.ms -- preliminary documentation
32 cover.ms -- a template for the documentation cover sheet
33 gnu.eps -- the groff logo, copied from the groff distribution
34 Makefile -- makefile, for formatting the documentation
36 PROBLEMS -- a list of known problems
37 TODO -- a list of planned features, not yet implemented
39 To make the pdfmark macros generally usable, copy pdfmark.tmac to the
40 'site-tmac' directory appropriate to your groff installation; (ms users
41 may also wish to copy spdf.tmac). The macros may then be accessed, by
42 including the '-mpdfmark' option on the groff command line; (for ms
43 users, '-mspdf' is equivalent to '-ms -mpdfmark', with some extra
46 Comments, and bug reports are welcomed. Please post to the groff
47 mailing list, groff@gnu.org; (you must be subscribed to this list to
48 post mails). To subscribe, visit
