Hi Mikkel, [1] Your message as received had no attachments (neither image nor groff input). [2] For a simple blank line, you can use the groff request: .sp This will move the next line down by a distance equal to the distance between the baselines of successive text lines (i.e. by the amount in the register \n[.v]). For different distances, use '.sp' with a distance argument; e.g.: .sp 1m \"moves down by a space 1m .sp 0.5m \"moves down by a space 0.5m .sp 1.5c \"moves down by a space 0.5 cm .sp 0.5i \"moves down by a space 0.5 inches (etc.). Hoping this helps. To understand the rest of your query, we need to see the example you geberated.
