Enclosed are a set of recipe macros for the formatting of recipes.
Use them in a command like
nroff -Tlp recipe.macros recipe.to.be.formatted >printfile
If you plan to submit to the net, run the output through col
col -bx <printfile >nicefile
There are some useful troff characters for phototypeset recipes.
\(14 = 1/4
\(12 = 1/2
\(34 = 3/4
\(de = degree mark (little raised circle)
\(13 = 1/3 Can't remember if these really exist--experiment.
\(23 = 2/3
Use these because they look nicer on typeset output and reasonable on
typed output.
