bold requests were seemingly completely ignored. I suspect this is a problem

I see now that the \o is not responsible for the line spacing problems. The
differences in spacing between modes 1 and 2/3 are however rather
frustrating.

OK. All the blanks of all types are working for me now -- that is when I
enter the punctuation marks after a question as the second parameter passed
to the macro. I am having one issue with the spacing in the "easy" mode
(mode 1) questions. Depending on whether there are questions in a line of

ng confusion. In TeX there is a
package for this, "lastpage" if I remember correctly. How would I achieve
this with groff?

Sorry. The thread is over a year old. Here is the
After an extended hiatus, during which time I have been using the kludge of
fractions within TeX , I am back to trying to get what I want with groff.
The last adjustments took care of most of my problems. In mode 1, the
blanks, etc. are printed and followed by whatever punctuation is present.

What would be the best way to use a regularly incremented variable within
fractions?
I teach ESL and I hope to typeset cloze tests where selected individual
words are replaced by a blank space (a short line or underscore) which has
the question number printed below it. I have done this in LaTeX

Is it possible with or without macro packages, etc. to get multi-line headers
in groff? I have been able to do this in LaTeX with the fancyheaders
package, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it (or if it is even
possible) in groff.
Thanks

package, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it (or if it is even
