Similar to section 1.1 in the Expert's Guide running an example
that looks like this:
--------------
@SysInclude{doc}
@Document
//
@Text @Begin
5i @Wide {
Macbeth was very ambitious. This led him
to wish to become king of Scotland. The witches told him that this
wish of his would come true. The king of Scotland at this time was
Duncan. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth murdered Duncan. He was thus
enabled to succeed Duncan as king. (51 words) Now is the time for all
good men to come to the aid of their country.
|0.25i
Encouraged by his
wife, Macbeth achieved his ambition and realized the prediction of the
witches by murdering Duncan and becoming king of Scotland in his
place. (26 words)
}
@End @Text

With the -p flag (to output ASCII text): this produces:
---------------
Macbeth was very Encouraged by his wife,
ambitious. This led Macbeth achieved his
him to wish to become ambition and realized
king of Scotland. The the prediction of the
witches told him that witches by murdering
this wish of his would Duncan and becoming

was Duncan. Encouraged
by his wife, Macbeth
murdered Duncan. He was
thus enabled to succeed
Duncan as king. (51
words) Now is the time
for all good men to
come to the aid of
their country.
-----------------
Notice the extra CR/LF sequences. Without the -p flag,
it works "as expected", i.e., without the blank lines.
Using Lout 3.10 on Windows NT.
Anybody want to make me feel stupid by explaining this?
