put, intermixed with formatting commands. A formatting command
is a line containing the control character followed by a two

control character is initially . (dot). The formatted output is
produced on standard output. The formatting commands are listed
below, with being a number, being a character, and being a title.
A + before n means it may be signed, indicating a positive or
negative change from the current value. Initial values for where
relevant, are given in parentheses.
.ad Adjust right margin.
.ar Arabic page numbers.
.br Line break. Subsequent text will begin on a new line.
.bl n Insert n blank lines.
.bp +n Begin new page and number it n. No n means +1.
.cc c Control character is set to c.
.ce n Center the next n input lines.
.de zz Define a macro called zz. A line with .. ends definition.
.ds Double space the output. Same as .ls 2.
.ef t Even page footer title is set to t.
.eh t Even page header title is set to t.
.fi Begin filling output lines as full as possible.
.fo t Footer titles (even and odd) are set to t.
.hc c The character c (e.g., %) tells roff where hyphens are permitted.
.he t Header titles (even and odd) are set to t.
.hx Header titles are suppressed.
.hy n Hyphenation is done if n is 1, suppressed if it is 0. Default is 1.
.ig Ignore input lines until a line beginning with .. is found.
.in n Indent n spaces from the left margin; force line break.
.ix n Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
.li n Literal text on next n lines. Copy to output unmodified.
.ll +n Line length (including indent) is set to n (65).
.ls +n Line spacing: n (1) is 1 for single spacing, 2 for double, etc.
.m1 n Insert n (2) blank lines between top of page and header.
.m2 n Insert n (2) blank lines between header and start of text.
.m3 n Insert n (1) blank lines between end of text and footer.

.ne n Need n lines. If fewer are left, go to next page.
.nn +n The next n output lines are not numbered.

.nf No more filling of lines.
