(I tried to send this via the forum interface, but got HTTP error 550)

To generate a page break within a table, one is supposed to use

.de BP
.  ie ’\\n(.z’’ .bp \\$1
.  el \!.BP \\$1
..

Could some kind soul explain the working of this macro? The else branch looks 
like
a recursve call.
And why does plain .bp not work?

Thanks for enlightenment,

ulrich
