Summary: [mm] ".LO SJ" doesn't put a blank line after a letter's subject Group: GNU roff Submitter: gbranden Submitted: Wed 17 May 2023 12:18:56 PM UTC Category: Macro mm Severity: 2 - Minor Item Group: Rendering/Cosmetics Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed 17 May 2023 12:18:56 PM UTC By: G. Branden Robinson <gbranden> There are some minor differences between how DWB 3.3 mm and groff mm format letters (see the `LT` macro), particularly when `LO` letter options are used. 1. DWB mm puts two spaces after colons in the notations generated by `.LO RN`, `.LO AT`, and `.LO SJ`. groff mm puts only one. I don't see this as a problem. groff's approach is more flexible, permitting the user to put in extra (non-breaking?) spaces themselves if they desire rather than negative horizontal motion escape sequences if they don't. 2. DWB mm puts two blank lines above the formal closing, where groff mm puts only one. I don't think this is a problem either, for analogous reasons to the preceding item. 3. DWB puts a blank line after the subject and before the body of the letter (typically a paragraph macro). groff mm doesn't--this is ugly. Fix it. (I checked Heirloom Doctools troff mm too. It appears to be broken.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64209> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
