Re: [groff] Heirloom troff invoke macro from string

[Carsten Kunze]

You can invoke a macro with name xxx with

  \*[xxx]

instead of

  .xxx

You can even provide arguments for the macro in the form

  \*[xxx arg1 ...]

as explained in

  http://n-t-roff.github.io/heirloom/doctools/troff.pdf

§7.1.  Does this answer your question or did you mean something else?
