The construct \o'\0.' draws the diagnostic <standard input>:1: normal or special character expected (got a node) in groff 1.20.1. Apparently \0 is not treated as a special character, as it was in original troff.
Experiment shows that \o' .' fails the same way, which is defensible because space doesn't have a definite width in all contexts. Not so for \0, which has the width of a digit. (I encountered this in resurrecting a document from 1986; everything else worked.) _______________________________________________ bug-groff mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
