Subject: [9fans] p9 troff tmac.s .RS/.RE broken
Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:48:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOEdRO24s7Sw-XeUBX_CZy74DXXENQ8uFALAK3SQENwLXznMWA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
this is to note that plan9's troff ms macro set seems to be broken in
how the .RS and .RE macros are implemented.
You may try
------------------
.LP
a
.RS
.IP
b
.RE
.LP
c
------------------
... c is misplaced
However one can appeal to p9p's implementation, where this has been corrected.
Ruda
PS.: It's a pity that this mistake must have been once hunted down
(probably on p9p), but wasn't then propagated back.
