NAME¶
groff_me - troff macros for formatting papers
SYNOPSIS¶
groff -me [ options ] file ...
groff -m me [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page describes the GNU version of the -me macros, which is part of the groff document formatting system. This version can be used with both GNU troff and Unix troff. This package of troff macro definitions provides a canned formatting facility for tech%nical papers in various formats.
The macro requests are defined below. Many troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be used with impunity after the first .pp:
-
.bp begin new page .br break output line here .sp n insert n spacing lines .ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space .na no alignment of right margin .ce n center next n lines .ul n underline next n lines
Output of the pic, eqn, refer, and tbl preprocessors is acceptable as input.
