[comp.unix.misc] X-reference in troff/eroff

tore@bibsyst.UUCP (Tore Morkemo) (09/29/90)

I'm writing a manual using troff/eroff.
I would like to know if it is possible to have troff generate
cross-refences through the text. I think I have an idea on how to
make it myself but I would like to know if such an utility already
exist.

  There are several packages which will do index, two of them mine, but
I know of none to really do cross referencing. You might share it if
you get it working - hint.
