Hi steve,
Do any of you have a working example that uses troff/groff (mm
macros?) to print four column output? I'll bet someone does.
Best off asking on the GNU groff mailing list, even if you're not using
groff but an alternative, e.g. Heirloom troff. That's where us troffers
hang out, and a friendly bunch we are too.
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
Or perhaps a troff expert would kindly whip up an example that
correctly uses the mm MC and MULN macros??
MC and MULN? MULN isn't for MC but MULB,MULN...,MULE. Here's four
columns with MC.
$ (printf '.nf\nfoo\n.ll 5i\n.MC 1i\n' &&
> seq 39 | awk '!(NR % 10) {$0 = $0 "\n.NCOL"} 1' &&
> printf '.1C 1\nbar\n') |
> nroff -mm |
> grep .
