Re: [Groff] Newbie help for documenting code snippets

[Clarke Echols]

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try the
nl(1) command to number lines.  After the numbering is added,
you can place comment text between the numbered lines.  However,
the line numbering must be removed in order for C compilers
to read the code as intended. [Caveat: I am not an expert in
C programming in any sense of the word.]
