Re: Automatically updated Table of Contents with Nroff

Julian,


Sorry for an awfully late response, but just spotted this and thought I
should clarify as author of the NroffEdit tool.




NRoffEdit is an all-in-one wysiwyg tool in Java that maintains
the TOC for you (within the .nroff source itself).

Which will only work properly as long the output isn't run through
standard NROFF, and page breaks change. Just saying.

This is not correct.

The automatic ToC function (and now since version 1.40 also the automated
reference function) operates using commands hidden behind Nroff comments.
A standard NROFF compiler will ignore the comments and process the ToC as
if it was manually entered. The ToC will match the document even if
compiled by a standard NROFF compiler.

/Stefan
