There are two Troff command pairs you need to study:
.nf -- Turn off the automatic fill
.fi -- Turn on the automatic fill (default state)
.na -- Turn off margin adjust
.ad -- Turn on margin adjust (default state)
If you want someting to appear just as you type it then you would
preceed that block of text with:
.na
.nf
and follow that block of text with:
.fi
.ad
If you only want to disable the automatic fill then preceed the block of
text with:
.nf
and follow it with:
.fi
No macro packages are needed for this capability.
