Yes. I am attaching 3 documents:
- A stripped down section of the CV template (hdtbl-issue.ms).
- A macro file demonstrating the issue (hdtbl-issue-macros.ms).
- A macro file demonstrating a temporary fix (hdtbl-issue-macros-
working.ms).
The command I have been using to compile:
groff -ms -m hdtbl hdtbl-issue.ms > hdtbl-issue.ps && ps2pdf hdtbl-
issue.ps hdtbl-issue.pdf
Environment: Manjaro Linux
The "working" macro file has only one change. Line 72 contains .ne 1.5i

That would be amazing! Thank you for looking into this.
Kind regards,
Mike
