Update of bug #67380 (group groff):
Summary: [troff] advise that `ab` request doesn't flush a
partially collected line => [troff] clarify `fl` and `ab` requests, and
document how groff's flushing differs from AT&T troff
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #15:
This ticket covers a lot of things:
* Clarifying the documentation:
* of groff's .fl request
* of the newly added .ab sentence, to note that only a break is needed
to
flush output
* that groff differs from AT&T troff in that a break always flushes
* Modifying how .fl works
* allowing it to be given an argument
* possibly, when invoked with the no-break control character?
The original Summary was addressed in July (comment #1). Since this is still
a documentation ticket, I think its scope should be limited to the
documentation items above. Updating Summary.
If a new ticket is to be spun off to cover the .fl behavior change(s), someone
who understands the issues better than me should open it.
