Subject: [9fans] troff .sp absolute movement problem
Date: Sat, 28 May 2011 22:07:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTinYVVma3z-yJ-N_FvvSX_vaCWDOcg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
please, I am having the following problem. With a troff -ms document
(named 't') like this

.LP
aaa
.sp |0i
bbb

I expected bbb to appear at the top of the page. Exactly this happens in groff:
groff -ms t > t.ps
however not with
9 troff -ms t |tr2post > t.ps.

I don't know why...

Thanks
Ruda
