It isn't pretty, but it works. I'd tell you what the troff commands are, except that I'm at home and my troff manuals are at work. I think it invoves ".de fo" or something like that. There's been regular talk about a "formatting control" inset that you could place in a document and interact with to produce things like this, instead of having to know the raw troff yourself. (Indeed, the pagebreak object, introduced in the R4 release, is a specialization of such a beast.) This is actually something that could be written by anyone with a little ATK knowledge and a lot of troff savvy. Any volunteers out there?
