I have been trying to get nroff to create tagged indented paragraphs without
dropping down an extra line.
----- I want
tag1 paragraph1 and
other hanging stuff
tag2 paragraph2 and hanging
stuff belonging to
the second tag
tag3 etc

I've tried everything in the -man macro library. 'TP doesn't work, and I can't
get anything to not give me the extra blank line. Before I go hacking on my
-man macro package I'd be curious to learn how to make it work with the
existing tools. The "FILES" section in the "UNIX programmer's manual" does
the unbroken .IPs, and /they/ wrote the -man package... so there /must/ be a
way to do it.

There is a macro called PD that sets the paragraph distance in the -man macros. The default is 1v for nroff and .4v for troff. If you want no blank space between paragraphs use: .PD 0 -- From the virtual mind of Allyn Fratkin allyn@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu or EMU Project {ucbvax, decvax, ihnp4} U.C. San Diego !sdcsvax!allyn
