#niri #vim #groff same

Well, a more primitive version of same ;-)

(Also playing with #typst)

Groff's latest month saw a dip in its code size (3.38 GB → 3.37 GB) and a decline in weighted stars (10.2k → 9.97k), marking a double negative change vs last period. #Groff #github

On a recent system update, I was alerted to the fact that I had modified a config file(/etc/groff/man.local). Did I want to merge them? Discard them? Fuck if I knew. 😆

.\" man.local - Added 202203 kbowen
.\" Add a searchable string before each section header
.rn SH SH-orig
.de SH
.SH-orig \(sc \\$*

Looking at the diff, I had no recollection of adding these lines. Fortunately for me, my past self was considerate enough to indicate their purpose. Unfortunately for me, my past self failed to credit the source for their inspiration. Bad dog!

I'd really like to read the article where I cribbed this from today.
Better a half-assed comment then no comment at all, I guess. But, still. Do better.

#NoteToSelf #man #manpages #groff #comments

[Read The Fabulous Manual pages] The complete documentation about #groff typesetter, with all the commands involved in groff, is avalaible!
It's "groff Collected Reference Pages": a 402 page document, in PDF #format, https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff-man-pages.pdf
It was made by G. Branden Robinson: thanks to him & congratulations for this work!
He announced it on groff open mailing list.
And moreover, you can navigate throught the pages: there are PDF hyperlinks!
And of course, the colophon is "made with groff"

lol @movq,
yes, I e.g. #groff my quarterly #Bahn complaint letters to parliament https://digitalcourage.social/@mro/116239272556653962. And my invoices. And #laptop-rental-contracts for https://mro.name/laptop. Such an elegant process with a 12MB typesetter. #permacomputing-style.

Thanks a lot @dozens for the answer, and for the article!
Your "general idea" is in fact details about the idea :-) : it's exactly what I'm looking for, by using #groff (which make me read what you wrote about groff before) +PIC +recutils +m4...all those venerable powerfull tools, using text #format.
PS: about this way to write &learn music, there is a famous guitarist, Marcel Dadi, who gave concerts &wrote a method using those tablature ("La méthode de guitare à Dadi "), https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Dadi
