[ jEdit-users ] Using jEdit to edit nroff docments

[Anton S. <ant...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I  am new to jEdit and want to use it as a fron-
tend for editing nroff documents. I want to have
two  buffers on the screen -- one for the source
and one for the nroff output, and a hotkey  com-
mand  that  would update the nroff ourput buffer
with the result of the bash command.

What I have come up with so far is  the  follow-
ing:

  (1)   Make  a macros using the Console plugin's
        command runCommandToBuffer  to  create  a
        buffer containing nroff output

  (2)   Define  a  hotkey  for  the  "Repeat last
        macro" command

This is not very convenient because the hotkey's
function depends on what macro was ran last, and
I have to close the Colsole window and the newly
created  buffer with nroff output manually every
time.

Can you please suggest  a way to customize jEdit
to my need?

Thanks in advance,
Anton
