- Has anyone else had problems with using an internal
- eqn construction with .IP in groff(V1.05)?
-
- In other words, I can't seem to do this:
-
- .EQ
- delim $$
- .EN
- [.... some groff stuff]
- .IP $lambda$
- [... more groff stuff]
-
- I get error reports that look like:
- sect4:51: warning: missing `)' (got `'')
- sect4:51: warning: missing number
- sect4:51: warning: numeric expression expected (got `\{')
- sect4:51: warning: missing closing delimiter
- sect4:51: warning: missing number
- sect4:51: warning: `par*label' not defined
- sect4:51: cannot chop empty macro
- sect4:65: warning: indent cannot be negative
-
- and of course no output.
-
- Since this is more or less "simple" stuff, I'm surprised
- that groff chokes so easily.
