Re: [Groff] -mm formatting macros question

[Damian McGuckin]

Marisa,

Because I always use command line arguments to do what PGFORM does, I have 
remained ignorant of PGFORM. So my comments might not be exactly what you 
need.

If you disable your lines with PGFORM and PGNH, i.e.

        .\".PGFORM ....
        .\".PGNH

and use

        .P

or even

        .SP

then everything works perfectly.

Off the cuff, I would say the '.PG...' macros are having an undocumented 
side effect. But as I said, I know nothing about these macros so somebody 
far more learned needs to comment on that.

Note that you can use an argument to '.SP' which is the number of blank 
lines, i.e.

        .SP 2

will get you a double line spacing.
