I am trying to produce a macro for request blm that would set space as
a given fraction of the current vertical spacing.
I did the following:
-------------------------------------------
.de blank
. nr blankreg (c;\\$1) this
would accept things like ".blank 0.42" and convert to "u"
..
.de blank_aux
. sp (\\n[.v]u*\\n[blankreg]u/28340)u this macro would
generate space when .blm finds a blank line
..
.blm blank_aux this
nominates blank_aux to be called by .blm
--------------------------------------------
This does not work (does not produce any space). The registers seem to
produce the right answers and if I use them
without defining .blm, I get the spaces.
Also, the .blm thing works ok if .blank_aux does not have a reference
to \n[.v].
What is wrong here?
Plse help!
