$ printf 'before open brace\n\.if 1 \\{\nwithin\n\\}\nafter\n.pl .p\n' | groff
-Tascii
before open brace
within after
$
Why the blank line? Not a groff bug, admittedly---same behaviour with p9p
nroff. But any suggestions for a workaround? I've tried:
$ printf 'before open brace\n\.if 1 \\{\\\nwithin\n\\}\nafter\n.pl .p\n' |
groff -Tascii
before open brace within after
$
---And this is fine in some cases. But when the line following the open brace
is a command or escape it sometimes causes problems.
$ groff --version
GNU groff version 1.19.2
