I have written a program that generates tbl output. The basic format of the output is something like this: +-------+-----------------------+-----------------------------+ | 001 | title of first item | text description of first | | | | item which spans several | | | | lines. | +-------+-----------------------+-----------------------------+ | 002 | title of second item | text description of second | | | | item which spans several | | | | lines. | +-------+-----------------------+-----------------------------+ etc... I am specifying the horizontal lines by printing an "_" before each item. I am specifying the third column using T{/T} delimiters: My problem: Occasionally an item will span a page. Is there a way I can specify that if an item spans a page to go to the next page, in a manner similar to mm's .DS/.DE display delimiters? +-------+----------------------+------------------------------+ | 002 | title of second item | text description of second | -----------------------PAGE--BREAK---------------------------------------- | | | item which spans several | | | | lines. | +-------+-----------------------+-----------------------------+ Thanks in advance, Mark -- Mark Harrison harrison@necssd.NEC.COM (214)518-5050 {necntc, cs.utexas.edu}!necssd!harrison standard disclaimers apply...
