I've been using the simple set of nroff macros, as described by

While this works, I'd like to be able to autogenerate section numbers
and table of contents entries. This draft doesn't give any guidance.
I tried the -ms macros, as described by
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/%7Ejanp/Help/textms.html
but the header macro .NH creates the header in boldface, which is a
no-no according to RFC 2223.
I imagine there is a way to do this, but I am ignorant of the
necessary kung-fu. Does anyone have a sample nroff file, perhaps a
draft they've written, that generates heading numbers and a toc?
There are a couple of ways to do it, either by rolling your own macros or by
making a minor change to the ms macros themselves (the approach I took). I
can send you my macro package if you like; however, it doesn't do automatic
TOC processing.
Thanks,
