 |Hello,
 |I got the "UNIX Text Processing" book in groff format, link "groff and
 |PostScript files--Beta" at [1] and built the default "utp_book.ps"
 |target.
 |The resulting PostScript file and its conversion to PDF via ps2pdf
 |have no outline.
 |
 |I see the Makefile is doing… something to generate the ToC and in fact
 |it has toc.t as dependency of utp_book.ps target, this file is not
 |used anymore when building utp_book.ps .
 |
 |I am very new to groff, I am in the process of reading the groff
 |chapter of the book now, can anyone enlighten me about what's
 |happening with the ToC there, if it is supposed to be available and
 |browseable from PS/PDF viewer or if it is an "incomplete feature" of
 |the groff port of the book?

In private i have pointed Andrea to the pdfmark macros, which
could be used to extend the UTP header macros (seem to be Se and
Ah) to gain PDF support.
