Subject: [9fans] troff ignoring .eo/.ec after first time
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:06:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3950E912-6C70-4726-B16D-79008B73FE00@mac.com> (raw)

Hello. Try this:

	tbl /n/sources/contrib/pietro/plan9prog.ms | troff -ms | page

On about the third page, some code begins, but at the print()  
statement at the end there is some strangeness. If you look inside  
the .ms file, there are some .eo and .ec requests. .eo turns off \x  
and .ec turns it back on. But why is it ignored after that first  
page, which works correctly?
