Don't draw premature conclusions from this "feature". Since groff does not intrinsically have a paragraph optimizing capability, the only possible way to achieve this result is to simply pull the complete word onto the next page and to stretch the space between the remaining words on the line. In general (in my experience) the holes in the line resulting from this treatment are an even worse deterrent to fluid reading than a word hyphenated across a page boundary. Fortunately groff also *does* allow one to hyphenate the last word on a page. _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
