* [9fans] troff, ms and header margin @ 2005-01-18 8:20 mtg 2005-01-18 9:12 ` Richard Miller 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: mtg @ 2005-01-18 8:20 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans Moin, I have a small problem with troff and the ms makro. I need a big header margin on the first page. I try: .nr HM 5i Hello and .nr HM 5i .PP Hello and then run troff -ms demo.ms | lp -dstdout > demo.ps. I don't get a 5i header margin. It looks like, that my setting is ignored and troff only use the default. How do I get a bigger header margin? Thanks, for any hint. Matthias ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
