Hi troff-users! How can you insert blank pages with page numbers within a document? The blank pages will be used for putting figures/tables etc. The pages before and after the blank page need to be completely filled. I don't think i can use .bp command. Thanx in advance.

How to insert blank pages in troff? I use an escaped space on the blank page, so troff thinks there is real text, thus actually "break paging" the 2nd time.. e.g., .bp \<SPACE_HERE> .bp Dave James

If you really want to move later material forward troff stuff .DK .sp 60 .DE later stuff will leave a blank (but numbered) page after filling the current page.

With mm macros the following should work (I haven't tested it): \" In header .nr De 1 .nr Df 4 text.... .DF \" For a "blank" page, with header, footer, and number .DE more text.... Other ways to do it, but this seems pretty simple. John Rupley
