[alt.sources.wanted] C library that generates nroff??

nelson@wrl.epi.com (Ken Nelson) (05/22/91)

 Is there a PD C library or macro set that generates nroff output? 
 I tend to write little tools that generate nroff files and I am
 sick and tired of coding:

   printf(".br 2\n");
   printf(".ce 1\n");

 You get the picture.  Any pointers are very welcome.
 If there is nothing but you have some ideas about what
 would be cool in such a package send them along as well.
 That way if I have to write this I might make some others
 happy also.

 I suppose the ideal package wouldn't really be a "nroff"
 driver, but instead a more abstract set of routines that
 do operations like bold, center, justify, parastart, paraend
 etc... where you specify the output type (nroff, tex, 
 postscript).


Thanks!
