Hi! I'm learning a bit of Groff syntax, and I seem to be having trouble getting Groff to remember number registers from inside macros. Here's some example code I'm trying out:
---- .nr foo 0 First line. .if (\n[foo] == 1) .sp .nr foo 1 First line still. .if (\n[foo] == 1) .sp A new paragraph. 'bp .de C .nr bar 0 .. .de D .if (\n[bar] == 1) .sp .nr bar 1 .. .C First line. .D First line still. .D A new paragraph. ---- I'd expect both pages to consist of two separate paragraphs, but for the second one, they're all bunched up together as if the "\n[bar] == 1" condition is never met. Are number registers retained when a macro is called again? Is there something simple I'm doing wrong? Thank you very much for your help! Zoe.
