Sure. You mean like this?: (If the boxed text itself uses .in, you may need to save the indent of the surrounding text in a custom register in BB and restore it in EB.) .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .de BB .br .in 1n .ll -1n .di BX .. .de EB .br .di .in .ll .nr BW \\n(dl+1n .nr BH \\n(dn+.5v .ne \\n(BHu+.5v .in 0 \M[grey90]\v'-.5v'\D'P \\n(BWu 0 0 \\n(BHu -\\n(BWu 0 0 -\\n(BHu'\M[] .sp -.5v .nf .BX .in .sp .5v .fi .. .sp 3c .ll 4c Some text.

Is there some tweak I need to make to eliminate that? That shouldn't happen. Usually a message like this indicates that you have a call to BB (which starts diverting into BX) without a corresponding EB (which ends that diversion again).
