Re: [Groff] How to switch off line filling?

Hi Dan,

It would help if you showed us the command you use, e.g. what macro
package, etc.

Try using .pl to set the page length to something long that's never
reached.

Possibly .po to set the page offset, but again it may depend on how
you're running groff.

Comparing the output of these two pipelines may be helpful.

    $ yes foo |
    > sed 1000q | nroff -ms | uniq
    $ (echo .ad l/.pl 1000i/.po 1i | tr / \\012; yes foo) |
    > sed 1000q | nroff -ms | uniq

Cheers,


Ralph.
