Hi Michael,

This is not a patch.
But I sent you a full page to better see what we're talking about.

Here are, as subsections of EXAMPLES,
A (.RS/.RE after first .TP paragraph) and
B (.RS/.RE Always)
from last email.

As for using .RS/.RE for single paragraphs,
we could do as in C:
{} for multi-line ifs/loops -> .RS/.RE for multiple paragraphs.
just indent for single-line ifs/loops -> .IP for single paragraphs.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex
