Hello, I am a nice little \fIcat\fR\/, and my greatest pleasure in life is to 
format a mouse with groff.
.br
.di
.ss 12
.x

.ll -5c
.x
=======================================================
The single problem is for \<space> (unbreakable space with a width
defined by .ss    Any idea ? I'd be proud of managing what I want to do in
compatibility mode, because I have a quite prehistoric mind. I want to

The other problem (the one for \~) is something else, since \~ doesn't exist
in the original troff... but if you have an idea for this one, that would be
nice.

Thanks!
