Yes, and the components that diagram covers are po (page offset), in (indent), and ll (line length). The parameter this patch affects is lt (title line length). > My apologies to the list for the intemperance of my language, but this > has to stop. "This" being novices posting suggestions without understanding every nook and cranny of groff? I couldn't disagree more. If an idea has problems, the way newbies learn is by having those problems pointed out. Railing against the mere temerity of proposing a change--without even saying what's wrong with the proposal--is less helpful. I'm not a groff novice, and I can't make out what exactly you're objecting to, since your one specific reference to a section of the manual doesn't cover what you seem to think it does. All knowledge levels should feel welcome here.
