Subject: [9fans] tr2post ignores \X'anything' troff lines
Date: Sun,  3 Apr 2011 13:21:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTik+HECTkoA71POK2exN5LkFBy1GJ6QynDagTE5-@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello 9fans,

I found that tr2post (at least on p9p) seems to discard [not process]
lines produced with \X'anything' in troff, so an input like

hello
\X'ps: exec 1 0 0 setrgbcolor'
blabla

results in output *without* the setrgbcolor line.
(using lines like this one can achieve coloured .ps, in this case the
'blabla' should be red)

Best regards
Ruda
