Challenge found here. Goal: reproduce it as faithfully as possible.

Code is here and the generated document is here.

To build the example, you'll need a version of groff that has PDF generation support built-in. If it's not in the default path, execute make download; make GROFF=path2groff/groff.

Build notes:

• assumes Gmake is the default make.
• make download pulls the Jayhawks' logo down using curl and only needs to be run once.

Implementation notes:

• the .ROLE macro is crucial for the middle content as it abstracts away point size and font changes.
• the .BLANKROLE macro is a convenience to help format the empty rows in the table.
• the hdtbl package is included with groff (man groff_hdtbl) and used to create a table with background colors. You can do this with base tbl but you need to post-process its output with Postscript.

Processing model follows:

    "Download logo:"
    box "make download" wid 110%
    arrow dashed "curl file" ""
    file "University_of_Kansas_wordmark.pdf" wid 350%
    left; move; move; move; down; move; move; right
    "Build document:"
    Code:  file "kansas.mom" wid 140%
    right; arrow
    Groff: box "groff"
    arrow
    Document: file "kansas.pdf" wid 140%
