Dear Gaius,
Good point, I wanted to create a minimal working
example, which created the same (missing) output as my
reallife example. And it did, but I think there's
another issue. When changing -ms to -mm (the macro I'm
using): No images are created.
Thus, groff -p -mm -Thtml foo.n
results in:
<!-- Creator : groff version 1.23.0 -->

table { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: top }
h1 { text-align: center }
</style>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<hr>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">- 1 -</p>

Maybe groff_mm(7) is the culprit?
Kind regards,
Hans
