Follow-up Comment #6, bug#65190 (group groff):

Hi Dave,

[comment #5 comment #5:]
> Those steps will solve the problem in the man/mdoc domain.

Right.

>  Which is maybe all you care about for now.  It is an easier problem.

For now, yes, because this is a problem that is provoking user complaints,
whereas I've heard no demand expressed for continuously rendered ms/me/mm/mom
documents.  (I've felt some myself, with respect to ms.ms...)

>  My point is that bug #61453 is looking for a general solution for
continuous rendering that works for all nroff output -- which might include
diverted footnotes and a footer of one or more lines.  This is a harder
problem.

Agreed, and that's why I _don't_ think this ticket is a duplicate of that
one.

> But if it's solved, the easier problem is also solved for free.

I don't think there is a general solution, but a solution to the .R=INT_MAX
problem will make particularized ones (flush footnotes and pending displays at
a [configurable?] section heading level and/or the end of the document)
easier.

Regards,
Branden
