Hi Alexis,
you are always free to rename a copy of the macro sources and modify it
to your heart's content --- for your personal use.
Insofar, the source invites for editing, and that is definitely welcome.
If, for your own convenience only, you modify the groff macro source in
your local syste

It's for the same reason that the line length for everything except
titles defaults to 6.5i--that value works fine for portr
Hi Oliver,
thank you for the suggesting to put my proposed modifications in
a local macro and source that in my documents.
What are (technical) reasons against the change that you can think of?
So if the "transparent source is not an invitation to edit", as you say,
is it only shared to serve as

Hi Alexis,
I admit that the source files of the whole groff system have a structure

Hi all,
I noticed that the default length of title lines (\n[.lt]) of 6.5i works
