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
