Re: [Groff] macros for inserting code

If the macro set you're using doesn't provide what you like, try
writing your own.

    .de code
    .sp
    .ft C
    .nf
    .in 0.5i
    ..
    .de /code
    .sp
    .ft
    .fi
    .in
    ..
    Only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one of them is
    paranoid and the other one is out to get him.
    .code
    void common_output::solid_arc(const position &cent, double rad,
                                  double start_angle, double end_angle,
                                  const line_type &lt)
    {
      line_type slt = lt;
      slt.type = line_type::solid;
      arc(cent + position(cos(start_angle), sin(start_angle))*rad,
          cent,
          cent + position(cos(end_angle), sin(end_angle))*rad,
          slt);
    }
    ./code
    Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying
    as an income tax refund.
