This is a demonstration of mm’s variable‐item macro VL.
foo The “bodies” of these list items are indented 10n
from the left margin.
bar The mark is idented 5n from the left margin.
oversized baThis mark is oversized. But it should not
overprint.
PostScript output is similar, except it really does overprint
("constructively").
DWB 3.3 _mm_ does not behave this way.
