Re: Can makeprg (or equivalent) be locally file-customised?

Hi Dvalin,

this usecase illustrate what I said in misc@openbsd about the appliance
of vi to the vim culture because most of the solution is outside vim to
me.

A shell script will be much easier to maintain and extend as well as
resusable (from a makefile or a shell script).

wanabe is somewhere in $PATH and its content is

#!/bin/sh -eu
sed -E '/^W\($/,/^\)$/!d' "$1" |
sed '1d;$d' |
${SHELL:-} -s -- "$@"

so now I can write a roff file with

.ig

the W() script is hte way to get a document from the current file

W(
d="$1"; shift
dformat "$d" |
eqn |
pic |
soelim |
groff -Tpdf -Kutf-8 "$@"
)
..

and from vim

let &mp='wanabe % > /tmp/vbe.pdf'

regards
