Hello,
can anyone please tell me that what is wrong with the following 'nr'
command in the example given below:
+1 .ll80-2
+2 .nr ps 0
+3 .nr tm 0
+4 .in7
+5 Reset footnote counter on first-level heading\&.
+6 .nr wi (\n(.l-\n(.i)/5-(5m-1m)
+7 .(b
+8 .in-4
+9 .TS
+10 tab( );
+11 lw(\n(wiu) lw(\n(wiu) lw(\n(wiu) lw(\n(wiu) lw(\n(wiu).
............. the table continues.
Please tell me if you think that there are any calculation mistake with
the .nr command above. It is a 5 column table. This is not the complete
table.
When the try to execute the command:
tbl tblexample | nroff -me | col | more -sv
The table is misaligned and every row starts at a different position. the
table tht i get is as follows:
.FD Arg. Hyphens Adjusted Text In- Label Jus-
dented tified
0 .nh .ad Yes Left
1 .hy .ad Yes Left
2 .nh .na Yes Left
3 .hy .na Yes Left
4 .nh .ad No Left
5 .hy .ad No Left
6 .nh .na No Left
7 .hy .na No Left
8 .nh .ad Yes Right
9 .hy .ad Yes Right
10 .nh .na Yes Right
11 .hy .na Yes Right
Now, if I modify the line #1 of the above code to :
+1 .ll80
then it fixes the problem.
I am assuming that there are some negative line length calculations which
I am doing. Please give me your suggestions on it.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Divya
