      [document] into the output channel [channel]. The parameter [width] is
      the maximum number of characters per line. The parameter [rfrac] is the
      ribbon width, a fraction relative to [width]. The ribbon width is the
      maximum number of non-indentation characters per line. *)

      channel [channel]. No indentation is used. All newline instructions are
