Hi Alexis,
I am not quite sure whether I see any difference in indentation, or any
layout aspect at all. Not to the naked eye, at least. Then I tried a
comparison with diffpdf and that did not reveal any differences either.
Best,
Oliver.

Hi all,
while familiarizing myself with the capabilities of the mm macros, I
noticed that the section titles on the table of contents pages, list
of figures, tables, etc. pages—produced by the TC macro—appear
misaligned, i.e. not properly centered.
To validate my assumption I replaced the section title strings with
a line-length rule to visualize page offsets and line-lengths.
Reading through m.tmac I found that adding an `.in` macro call before
writing the section title in the print-ds macro definition seems
to remedy the issue.
Quite possibly this approach is just a workaround and the actual
issues lies elsewhere. Hence I kindly request other groff and mm
users to validate or refute the behaviour I'm observing and my
attempt to resolve it.
Please find attached a patch, a minimal working example to demonstrate
the issue, and two PDFs showing the mwe output before and after the
patch was applied.
Thanks
Alexis
