What happens after that count is reached is that the next line is stretched wide, simply to avoid hyphenation (unless .na is used, in which case the line is simply broken short). To me it sounds like this "solution" is worse than the problem. Without an optimizing paragraph-at-a-time algorithm like TeX has, which can retry the entire paragraph with different breakpoints, with roff's line-at-a-time approach only human intervention can really help. > \n[.hlc] Count of immediately preceding consecutive > hyphenated lines in environment. > > My question is: should a page break reset this count? If the register is made writable, this can be decided by the macro package, by writing a zero to the register when a new page is begun.
