Subject: [9fans] mm macro documentation
Date: Sun,  7 Jan 2007 22:06:42 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <33689.66.222.64.178.1168229202.squirrel@66.222.64.178> (raw)

Plan 9 includes the ?roff mm macros (/sys/lib/tmac/tmac.m) but no
documentation. Anyone know what is up with that? I printed out a boot-leg
version of one of O'Reilly's books that has mm documenation but it is not
complete (doesn't document letters, for example, which Plan 9's troff has)
and its not in everyone's favourite man(6).

But as always, it beats groff! It's implementation and documentation of mm
are brain dead.
