[bug #43532] groff handles long .TH as overlaping in header and footer

[Deri James]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #43532 (project groff):

I noticed this patch fixes the space at 4.3 inches, but groff_man specifies
that the title line length can be changed by setting -rLT (or -rLL) to a
different width, so should not this patch take this into account. (NB I have
not actually tested the patch yet).

Yes, I modified the patch to work with -rLT (and -rLL) by
using .lt and it worked ok for me.
I uploaded revised one as an-old.tmac-long-TH.patch2.

For comparison, here is what mandoc does:


$ mandoc
.TH CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier 3erl "cosNotification
1.1.18" "Ericsson AB" "Erlang Module Definition"
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
Erlang Module
Definition



Ericsson AB cosNotification 1.1.18

CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
$


Note that
* CosNotify... is left justified on line 1
* Erlang Module Definition is right justified on line 2
* Ericsson AB is left justified
* cosNotification 1.1.18 is centered
* CosNotify... is right justified on the last line

I did not inspect the patch yet.
