MAN package, .TP macro.

Hello, all

I  have found an incosistency of the behavior of the man pack-
age with its manual. The manual says (about the .TP macro):

    The indentation is set to nnn if  that   argument   is
    supplied  (the default unit is `n' if omitted), other-
    wise it is set to the previous indentation value spec-
    ified  with  TP, IP, or HP (or to the default value if
    none of  them  have  been  used yet).

But to my experience the indent value can also be reset to the
defalt by the .PP command. Here's my example:

 <...>
 .TP 10
 One
 one
 .TP
 Two
 two
 .PP
 This paragraph resets the indent size.
 .TP
 Thee
 Three
 <...>

and here's the result:

       One       one

       Two       two

       This paragraph resets the indent size.

       Thee   Three

I am using groff 1.20.1 of the GNUWIN32 distribution.

Thanks in advance,
Anton
