In fact the matrix trick is so painful that with tongue hardly in cheek I'd claim that for the present example raw troff would be simpler: \h'\w'longidentifier'u-\w'shortid'u'\c shortid = expression1 .br longidentifier = expression2
When I try (the non-indented) version of this
.S 14 16
.EQ
shortid ~ mark = ~ expression1
.EN
.SP
.EQ
longidentifier ~ lineup = ~ expression2
.EN
with 'groff -mm', it does exactly what I think you want. Sorry, I hate the
default spacing around the equal sign so I always add one either side! I
do not think I am doing anything special.
Doug, I have attached the PDF which should reach you but I am unsure as to whether that makes it through to the mailing list.
