NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FILES SEE ALSO REQUESTS NAME
groff_me - troff
macros for formatting papers
SYNOPSIS
groff -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 technical 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 be gin ne w 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 mar gin .ce n center ne xt n lines .ul n underline ne xt n lines
Output of the
pic, eqn, refer, and tbl preprocessors is
acceptable as input.
