Is there a way to put an 'action' column in troff/mm documents ?
That is, a macro so that you could do the following when writing minutes
of meetings
----------------
It was decided that Peter phillips would write to the chairman of the
XX committee
.AC PP
regarding further funding.
----------------
which would come out as follows:
----------------
ACTION
------
It was decided that Peter phillips would write to the chairman
of the XX committee regarding further funding. PP
I've tried the following and variations but they don't seem to give me
what I need:
.de AC
\kx
\h'|6.0i'
\\$1
\h'|\nxu'
..
Any help appreciated,
Pete Phillips.
