[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Is communication between ez and troff possible?

jlevine@oracle.com (Jonathan Levine) (05/29/90)

   I'm trying to put together a standard header/footer template for my group's
specification documents, and what I'd like to use is something akin to what one
often sees in troff'ed books:  

	Title Page		Even Page		Odd Page

header: [/CONFIDENTIAL/]	[Page #//Spec title]	[Chapter title//Page #]

footer: [Company/Page #/Group]	[CONFIDENTIAL//Company]	[Group//CONFIDENTIAL]

(Where stuff in the square brackets corresponds, as in .tl, to
[LeftTitle/CenterTitle/RightTitle])

   I've got the document-consistant values working (CONFIDENTIAL, Company,
etc.), but what I'd really like to do is have dynamically changing Chapter
Titles and Spec titles -- that is, when somebody puts something into
Title,Chapter format, the LeftTitle string is changed for the odd pages.
Has anybody done anything like this?  

Thanks,

Jon
