And exactly in the same way, using an end-of-input
trap:
.de1 an-end
. nr % 1
. pl +4v
. fl
. sp 3
. an-p-footer
. pl \\n[nl]u \" <- trim page length
..
[...]
.if \n[cR] .em an-end \"<- Turn on single-page mode if cR > 0
So, this behavior can controlled via the cR number
register, and you can set number registers on com-
mand-line when invoking groff with the -r option.
