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:
.bpbegin new page .brbreak output line here .sp ninsert n spacing lines .ls n(line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space .nano alignment of right margin .ce ncenter next n lines .ul nunderline next n lines
Output of the pic, eqn, refer, and tbl preprocessors is acceptable as input.
