Hi list,
i have a programm that generate nroff output that is intended to be printed.
that works fine.
Problems occur when i want to see the page as latin1 then it will be rendered
into 2 pages. Since i pipe the output into xmessage i do not care about page
length.
Is there any fancy trick i can
This is off the cuff, but it should work.
There is an option you can use when invoking nroff/groff, then if you're
sending it to a terminal set that variable to be the page length. In
your text file, test that variable and if it's set (you choose the
value), then have your file set the page len
This sequence produces a mystery diagnostic that
apparently refers to the name of a nonterminal
symbol in some unpublish BNF:

without complaint, as do other groff programs. But one feature
suffers: a citation with two authors prints thus:
Author1, Author2, and Author2
With carriage returns eliminated from the database file, the
same citation reads:
