Hi Jeff, Branden, the index page looks as if some DOS-style system tried to process U*X-style linefeeds. Once this problem was fixed, everything aligned smoothly.
Using regexes I could fix everything. See attachments. Best, Oliver. On 27/08/2024 22:44, G. Branden Robinson wrote:

I recognize some of the language in the mm chapter you attached from the DWB 2 mm documentation, and it may go back farther than that within AT&T. "Use of other requests without fully understanding their implications very often leads to disaster!" (p. 5-9)I've attached the chapter on the MM macros from the Eroff manual; everything else I have is bound hardcopy.Thank you! Something interesting went wrong on page 5-78. It looks _almost_ like someone forgot to run tbl(1)...but not quite. Normally when that happens one sees the table format and options bleed into the text, like box center; l l c. I think something else is the matter. Regards, Branden
