Hi Werner,

Is `nop' a no-operation? If so, I'd expect it to be more like `.if 0'
then `.if 1'? Also, how similar is it to `.if 1' and why would I need
it instead?
Finally :-) I looked at the code and it doesn't seem to match what I'd
expect. The code just seems to skip whitespace tokens leaving the next
non-whitespace token as further input to process.
$ head x.tr
abc
.nop def ghi
xyz
$ ./test-groff -Tascii x.tr | cat -s
abc def ghi xyz
This test seems to bear this out.
What am I missing?
Ralph.
