Hello, As far as I understand groff: The PD number register is used by the paragraphs macro of ms (PP, LP, QP, XP and probably IP). The .br operator break lines, but is not what ms consider as a new paragraph. PP is a paragraph style, .br is only a new line. In your test, you should replace .br by one of the paragraph macro.
