In this case you could use tbl (convenient) or do manually what tbl would do internally (gives you more freedom to fiddle around), i.e., fill 3 diversions with text and then replay those diversions side-by-side onto the page. If the amount of text is limited and you don't have to worry about text filling up the column and causing a page break, you can also write the text directly to the page using suitable combinations of line length and indent: .\" .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .nr LL 21c-5c .ll \n(LLu .po 2.5c .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .nr w1 3.5c .nr w3 3.5c .nr w2 \n(LL-\n(w1-\n(w3 .\" ---------------------------------------------------------------- .ps 10 .vs 12 .sp 2.5c .ll \n(LLu .mk \m[red]\v'-1v'\D'l 0 1c'\h'\n(w1u'\D'l 0 -1c'\h'\n(w2u'\D'l 0 1c'\h'\n(w3u'\D'l 0 -1c'\D'l -\n(.lu 0'\m[] .br .rt .in 0 .ll \n(w1u .ad l Sometown, Earth .br v...@johndoethetrueone.com .br .rt .in \n(w1u+\n(w2u .ll \n(LLu .ad r linkedin.com/in/j.doe .br github.com/j.doe .br .rt .in \n(w1u .ll \n(w1u+\n(w2u .ps 28 .vs 24 .ad c John \[Fo]The Doe\[Fc] Doe .br .ps 10 .vs 12 .sp 3 .in 0 .ll \n(LLu .ad b .fi Text Note that if you want to allow groff to break lines then you cannot use .nf, .ce, and .rj, but instead have to use .ad l, .ad c, and .ad r, and break lines manually if necessary with .br.
