There are two Troff command pairs you need to study:

	.nf  -- Turn off the automatic fill
	.fi  -- Turn on the automatic fill (default state)

	.na  -- Turn off margin adjust
	.ad  -- Turn on margin adjust (default state)


If you want someting to appear just as you type it then you would
preceed that block of text with:
.na
.nf


and follow that block of text with:
.fi
.ad

If you only want to disable the automatic fill then preceed the block of
text with:
.nf

and follow it with:
.fi


No macro packages are needed for this capability.
