Agree 100 percent. I prefer the non-linebreaking behavior of the current groff. In fact, TeX *does* allow linebreaking on hyphens between numbers, and I find it very irritating that I have to explicitly prevent this by always mboxing star catalogue numbers like He~2-131 (where ~ translates to a nonbreaking space). _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
