[9fans] htmlroff -ms footnotes

[a]

Working on a little one-page report, I noticed htmlroff wasn't
outputing my footnotes. Looking at the papers in /sys/doc, it
seems htmlroff produces them properly when they're in the
abstract, but not in the main body.

Anybody looked at this or know why?

no, but do you have an example to reproduce it?

It isn't the Abstract, it's the .SH, which calls .RT, which somehow changes
the FS macro. If you replace .SH with .RT in test.ms nothing changes; if you
delete it altogether the missing footnotes appear.

If you put .pm above and below .SH (or .RT) and run:

         ; htmlroff -ms -mhtml test.ms >/dev/null |[2] grep FS

you can see that the FS macro is being messed with. I'll dig further...

okay, yeah, .SH calls .RT calls .BG calls .rn FJ FS

you could drop -ms but you probably don't want that either...

you could use ms2html :)

you could write your own macros :)))
