Hi folks, I find myself offended by the fact that \D drawing commands update the diversion width register `dl`, but have no impact on the diversion height register `dn`.
Nevertheless, all of DWB 3.3, Heirloom Doctools, and GNU troff behave this way. But it seems pretty unhelpful to me. If a drawing command inside a diversion increases its maximum vertical extent, the formatter should tell me that, but it doesn't. Instead it appears to count only text baselines. Can someone defend this behavior? Should we change it for groff-next? Exhibit: Hello, world. .sp Pardon me a moment while I create a diversion. .br .di DD \D'c 1i' .br .di Okay, I'm back. .sp Now, let's have a look at that diversion; it's \n(dn tall by \n(dl wide. \" 12000, 72000 in PostScript .sp 0.5i-0.5v .DD .sp 0.5i All done. Regards, Branden
