The only concern that I have is that there are times that export hangs. I need to figure that one out, I'll keep you posted. >> (If I do not collapse of exhaustion taking care of them. :( ) > > There's the `sleep-for' function for that. :) It'll execute for a looong time over the weekend :) In other news I added various enhancements. Including: 1. Automated caption support. I need to figure out how to get the caption text (via CAPTION? via ATTR ? ). Right now generic ones are added which they show up in the table of content. 2. EPS diagrams import support. I mostly needs it for plantuml diagrams. Groff only supports ps and eps only. But automated plantuml diagrams do get created and inlined (via .PSPIC) when the file is exported. 3. Quotes and Verse support. Currently hardcoded to helvetica. I should think of customizing fonts via defcustom, but for now, this is it. 4. Improvements on footnotes. Currently creating footnotes by taking the value from :label. 5. Lists (numeric and bullets). Sample output is here: http://ppl.ug/xgZ7dmDq43Q/ I have a general question though. Equation and Picture creation support in Groff is done with the use of the "eqn" and "pic" programs. I've been debating if these should be included in org-babel, for executing these the same way plantuml is executed through the use of #+begin_src #+end_src However considering that these are Groff only I'm not sure if these would be better served by using special attributes to add pic/eqn code. This is because the output of these commands are Groff statements that only make sense in Groff. ??!!
