Hi Richard,
If I set .pl 15i the resulting document is 11i long and the bottom of
my document is cut off How else should I define a custom length Using
groff-1.18.1
Can you provide some extra detail? Are you using a macro set, e.g. -ms?
Is there a small example input that shows the problem?
Cheers,
Ralph.
No macros
$ cat long_page_test
.pl 15i
this is the top
.sp |14.5i
this is the bottom
$ groff long_page_test > long_page_test.ps
If I change .sp |14.5i -> .sp |10.5i the text "this is the bottom" prints
at the bottom of the page
