Hi Ted, > I would like to suggest that, before anything is done generally in > groff, we should get to the bottom of where this ":p" is coming from. I agree. Google's Code Search finds some interesting stuff. Not all -mm, but still. http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=%22nr+%3Ap%22 In par

[Thanks, Werner, for forwarding to the froff-list my response to Luke Kendall, which I had inadvertently copied to bug-groff instead of changing it to groff. Apologies for that, I'm re-posting it to groff so that it isn't buried under two layers of "MIME"!] Regarding footnote numbering, when y
