Subject: [9fans] line numbers in troff
Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 15:09:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTim492owEYVniWE=W6XzF3o2sDTSGg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
usually, when writting drafts for somebody else to review, its useful
to have line numbers printed at the beginning of each line.
How would you implement that in troff? I never written a macro in
troff, so some basic pointers would be enough for me (e.g. some good
troff book).
Thanks,

--
Hugo
