My understanding is that in troff, empty lines such as \" Something are equivalent to the following by default: .sp .sp\" Something If you don't want this, it's best to do something like: .de do-nothing .. .blm do-nothing I suspect your code actually does the same because by doing .blm .br you are not setting the blank line macro to the macro br, but to the (non-existent) macro .br, i.e. the above example would turn into: ..br ..br\" Something If my suspicion is correct, you should get a warning about this if you run groff will all warnings enabled (flag -ww). ~ onf
