Well, another way to do it is if the back-end can do cross references, right? I.e. if you can identify source and target in the Jade output. Did anyone get anywhere with a troff back end? I used cross references like that in Yuri & Murray's book (SGML on the Web/Beyond HTML) and it did indeed so happen there was one that said `on this page'.... I had hoped to work on an sqtroff/groff back-end myself, but ended up swamped with work stuff...
