We've just recently noticed a footnote problem with nroff and the -me macros;
it doesn't seem to remember indentation parameters for the second page when it
has to split a footnote across two pages. It seems to be indenting the
text twice the amount specified for the original temporary indent used
for the first line of the footnote. It should be using the indentation
paramters ( bi and fu) from the previous page shouldn't it?
Anybody have a fix for this?
It seems to involve text diversions to macros, but not being an nroff guru,
I have found a fix as yet. (We are using version 2.15 of -me macros. The
version number for 'footnote.me' is 2.4 )
