NAME

       man - macros to typeset manual

SYNOPSIS

       nroff -man file ...

       troff -man file ...

DESCRIPTION

       These macros are used to format pages of this manual.

       Except in and requests, any text argument denoted t in the request summary may be zero to six words.  Quotes " ... " may be used to include
       blanks in a `word'.  If t is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next text input line (the next line	that  doesn't  begin  with
       dot).   In  this  way, for example, .I may be used to italicize a line of more than 6 words, or .SM followed by .B to make small letters in
       `bold' font.

       A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to  default  value  upon  reaching  a  non-
       indented paragraph.  Default units for indents i are ens.

       The fonts are

       R      roman, the main font, preferred for diagnostics
       I      italic, preferred for parameters, short names of commands, names of manual pages, and naked function names
       `bold', actually the constant width font,
	      preferred for examples, file names, declarations, keywords, names of struct members, and literals (numbers are rarely literals)
       L      also the constant width font.  In troff L=B; in nroff arguments of the macros .L, .LR, and .RL are printed in quotes; preferred only
	      where quotes really help (e.g. lower-case literals and punctuation).

       Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font- or size-setting macros.

       The -man macros admit equations and tables in the style of eqn(1) and tbl(1), but do not support arguments on .EQ and .TS macros.

       These strings are predefined by -man:

       *R    `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.
       *S    Change to default type size.

BUGS

       There's no way to fool troff into handling literal double quote marks " in font-alternation macros, such as
       There is no direct way to suppress column widows in 2-column output; the column lengths may be adjusted by inserting  requests  before  the
       closing
