Hmm. It's really bizarre that I have to use *optical* formatting for
TTY -- and your example looks fine only for a 80-character wide
terminal -- to get a decent lifting. I can't believe that this is the
right solution!
Both the inserted `.br' and `.in +6' commands fail for any other
output device as DVI or PS.
What about the stuff used troff.man:
.nr a \n(.j
.ad l
.nr i \n(.i
.in +\w'\fBtroff 'u
.ti \niu
.B troff
.
.de OP
. ie \\n(.$-1 \
. RI "[\ \fB\\$1\fP" "\\$2" "\ ]"
. el \
. RB "[\ " "\\$1" "\ ]"
..
.
.OP \-abcivzCERU
.OP \-d cs
.OP \-f fam
.OP \-F dir
.OP \-I dir
.OP \-m name
.OP \-M dir
.OP \-n num
.OP \-o list
.OP \-r cn
.OP \-T name
.OP \-w name
.OP \-W name
.RI "[\ " files\|.\|.\|. "\ ]"
.br
.ad \na
This assures that the indentation and line length for the options is
correct for all output devices.
