Update of bug #46914 (project groff): Summary: .ce sometimes ignores right margin => breaking behavior inconsistent within a .ce block
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #13: [comment #11 comment #11:] > Similar "subject" is also discussed in bug #60731 Yes, that bug has been cited here a few times, going back to comment #1. > It is the job of '.ce' to ignore the right margin, > that is, _not_ to break the input line in two pieces for the output line. Whether .ce should break input lines as a general rule is the topic of #60731; the bug you're currently reading is only about the _inconsistency_ in breaking behavior given specific inputs. This inconsistency needs to be dealt with regardless of what #60731 decides groff's general breaking behavior should be. So if you want to make the case that groff should follow AT&T troff .ce behavior, #60731 is the place to do that. [comment #12 comment #12:] > The request has to know where the "right margin" is (what the > line length is) to know where the centerline of the page is. Whether that's true depends on whether text is being centered within the current column or on the page -- a distinction that actually seems to not be documented in the info manual. (This should probably be a separate bug report.) > This ticket should be retitled. Dave, any suggestions? I put a suggestion in the Summary that seems to be to reflect what this ticket is about, but not being certain what shortcoming you were noticing in the original Summary, I don't know whether this addresses it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46914> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
