47: .Op Ar
48: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.5 ! aaron 49: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 50: provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences
51: for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking
52: is destructive.
1.4 aaron 53: Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing
54: .Sq - )
1.1 deraadt 55: are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
56: .Pp
57: Available options:
58: .Bl -tag -width Ds
59: .It Fl
60: Suppress all underlining.
61: This option is especially useful for previewing
62: .Em allboxed
63: tables from
64: .Xr tbl 1 .
65: .It Fl 2
66: Causes all half-lines to be printed, effectively double spacing the output.
67: Normally, a minimal space output format is used which will suppress empty
68: lines.
69: The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however.
70: The
71: .Fl 2
72: option is useful for sending output to the line printer when the output
73: contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible.
74: .El
75: .Sh EXAMPLES
76: A typical use of
1.5 ! aaron 77: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 78: would be
79: .Bd -literal
80: tbl exum2.n \&| nroff \-ms \&| colcrt \- \&| more

88: .Sh BUGS
89: Should fold underlines onto blanks even with the
90: .Ql Fl
91: option so that
92: a true underline character would show.
93: .Pp
94: Can't back up more than 102 lines.
95: .Pp
96: General overstriking is lost;
97: as a special case
1.4 aaron 98: .Ql |
1.1 deraadt 99: overstruck with
1.4 aaron 100: .Ql -
1.1 deraadt 101: or underline becomes
1.4 aaron 102: .Ql + .
1.1 deraadt 103: .Pp
104: Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.
105: .Pp
106: Some provision should be made for processing superscripts and subscripts
107: in documents which are already double-spaced.
