Re: [groff] Heirloom troff invoke macro from string

[Mircea Hossu]

I didn't know that was possible. Yes, it would indeed solve my
problem. But, after a quick experiment, it seems to not behave this
way. The macro body gets expanded instead of executing:

.do xflag 3
.papersize a4
.mediasize a4
.ps 14p
.vs 24p
.
.nr x 0 1
.de m
.nr x +1
..
.ds s \\n+x
.ds t \\*m\\n+x

test1 \*s \*s \*s
.br
test2 \*t \*t \*t
.br


Output result:
  test1 1 2 3
  test2 .nr x +1 4 .nr x +1 5 .nr x +1 6

The goal would be to modify number "x" using some more complex
expression, e.g. in macro "m", at the point where string "t" is interpolated. 

Any ideas? 
Thanks!
