Argh. I need to correct an error in my description of "Example 3".
I've corrected my own quoted text below. > I agree that that could be done, and might be desirable.

In fact, the _only_ groff feature it uses is the .nop > request. By changing the .nop request into a pair of spaces you can, > perhaps, achieve the same result with only CSTR #54 features.

I'll call this > "Example 3". > > .ll 4.5i > 1.\ This is the first footnote.\c > .ss 48 > \" 2 spaces > .ss 12 > 2.\ This is the second footnote. > > The above works on groff equivalently to the old original example. In fact, after having tested with Heirloom troff and dpost, Heirloom seems to require a break before it will apply a change to .ss at all. Regards, Branden
