I’ve often wondered why one of the major macro packages doesn’t have
support to set .blm to its paragraph macro. It might have to be disabled
for code blocks (eg .DS/.DE), but that’s what, 2-3 lines of code to handle?
Input would look a lot cleaner without the .LP/.PP between every line.
For example:
.NH 1
\*[PRODUCT] Setup
Use the tasks in this chapter to set up the \*[PRODUCT].
.B Note :
Some of the tasks in this chapter
may not apply to your \*[PRODUCT]’s hardware configuration.
Each task defines which model it applies to.
Perform the tasks in the following list in order.
(etc…)
It doesn’t do anything for tables or lists, but one hopes they’re not
the majority of the document anyway. :-)
