Subject: Bug in -me macros and tables with blocks (T{ }T)
Index: /usr/lib/me/tbl.me 4.2bsd and probably many others
Description:
tbl is supposed to fill text in blocks (T{ }T pairs). When
you use the -me macros AND use any sort of floating keep, blocks
in tables will no longer be filled.
Repeat-By:
run the following through tbl | nroff -me:
.(z
This is a floating keep. It will be diverted with .ev 1
.)z
.TS
n lw(2i).
1 T{
This is a rather long table entry, which should be broken
up into 2 inch wide lines.
T}
.TE
Fix:
In file /usr/lib/me/src/tbl.me, always set fill mode after
entering environment 1 through the @C 1 request:
