Alternatives include this:
. nr SN ((5 * \\n[SSS_SN_ORIG]) / 3)
Compared to the (2 *), the ((5 *) / 3) shifts the subsubsection
header 1.0en leftward:
ABC(7) Linux Programmer's Manual ABC(7)
SECTION FOO
Foo flargh.
Subsection bar
Bar blargh.
Subsubsection baz
Baz mnargh.
Linux 1970-01-01 ABC(7)
Whether the shift improves the visual is a question of taste, although
logically, the (2 *) is more consistent than the ((5 *) / 3) is.
The ((5 *) / 3) is depicted above. The (2 *) is depicted in the earlier
email. I have no preference.
