Please use bug-groff@prep.ai.mit.edu for questions about groff.

   GNU groff comes with all kinds of macro packages included, among them
   the -man macros.

   I would appreciate a hint how I can format -man input files without page
   breaks, i.e. as one continuous output text. Where do I have to change
   what and how for this purpose?

Add

   .ch an-header
   .ch an-footer
   .ch an-p-footer

to the beginning of the man page.
