In xterm's manual page, I do it using these macros: =2Ede NS =2Eie \n(.sp =2Eel .sp .5 =2Eie \n(.in +4 =2Eel .in +2 =2Enf =2Eft C \" Courier =2E. =2Ede NE =2Efi =2Eft R =2Ein -4 =2E. The main parts are ".nf" (no fill) and ".fi" (fill), to turn off formatting and resume, respectively. --=20 Thomas E.
