In what file can we find the format in which grefer prints out a bibliography entry, and, more to the point, how can we modify the format of the output? I.e., is there an option we can give so that the format will be found in a file we name? And, where can we find instructions on how to build that file? We have pored over the man page for grefer, to no avail. The format of grefer output is documented in the `Macro Interface' section of the man page. The printed appearance of the references is under the control of troff macros: if you want to modify the appearance of the references, you will need to modify these macros. You might want to use the groff -ms macros; the refer support (in the ref module) is designed to be particularily easy to modify. We apologize for our ignorance, since this is a "bug" group, not a "help" group, but we also don't know of a "help" group for groff. bug-groff is the right place to ask questions about groff.
