I don't know why I thought this was undocumented. Werner added this sentence to the .ce section of the manual back in 2000 ([http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=e9b0d52de commit e9b0d52de]): "The basic length for centering text is the line length (as set with the 'll' request) minus the indentation (as set with the 'in' request)." Today this reads, "center the output ... with respect to the line length and indentation without filling." _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46914> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
