I guess you'd want to also > migrate those, right, Branden? Yes. This can be done by setting the cross references inside text blocks "T{"/"T}", where they can call macros. I'll test this, of course--calling macros from within a text block can be a chancy thing. I don't _expect_ problems here, since `MR` does not mess with the format of the output line--it does not alter line length, indentation, or vertical spacing. I trust but will verify. I also see several references that didn't get converted ca. line 850 because my sed script cowardly refused to rewrite lines with *roff comments in them. So I'll search for more stragglers like this. I will therefore be back with a "RECIPE v2". I do not promise that the updated sed script will be any easier to look at. :P > BTW, I've amended now the author, which I forgot. > <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?h=contrib> Thanks! Better if I take the heat for this 15,000+-line change. As Ferris Bueller said to Cameron Frye, "you don't want this much heat." ;-) Regards, Branden
