Follow-up Comment #11, bug #46914 (project groff): Similar "subject" is also discussed in bug #60731
It is the job of '.ce' to ignore the right margin, that is, _not_ to break the input line in two pieces for the output line. The example in groff.texi ("info groff") is misleading in two aspects 1) The output does not conform to the provided description. 2) The input lines do not conform to the purpose of the '.ce' request (wrong layout of the input lines). A better example could be .nr length (u;40*\w'0') .nr sp (u;9*\w'0')) .ll \n[length]u .ad b\" default value .fi\" default value 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 \h'\n[sp]u'1\h'\n[sp]u'2\h'\n[sp]u'3\h'\n[sp]u'4 .de FR This is a small text fragment that shows the differences between the '.ce' and the '.ad c' requests. .. .ce 9999\" from s.tmac .FR .ce 0 .ad c .FR .pl \n(nlu N.B. Mentioning the purpose of requests could aid with the right use of them, if not obvious from the description of what they are doing. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46914> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
