control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed

negative change from the current value.  Initial values for where

  .ix n   Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
  .li n   Literal text on next n lines.  Copy to output unmodified.
