   Sounds MSWord-ish to me.  troff is the typesettng assem-   
   bler, where high-level functionality is  implemented  in   
   macros and macro packages.  Line-numbering would seem to   
   be implementable as an output-line trap using a  counter   
   in  a numeric register...  Perhaps, you were talking not   
   about troff, but about one of its macro packages?
