Oh, you're right--and in fact this works even without the "East Asian" cflags values. A cflags of 4 is probably closer to what onf was describing with neatroff's hydash request:, because then the following character needn't have a special cflags property. $ cat slashbreak.roff .ll 1n Quick, find the on/off switch! $ nroff -Ww slashbreak.roff | cat -s Quick, find the on/off switch! $ sed '2i.cflags 4 /' slashbreak.roff | nroff -Ww | cat -s Quick, find the on/ off switch!
