NAME
me - Macros for formatting papers SYNOPSIS
nroff -me [options] file... DESCRIPTION
This package of nroff macro definitions provides a formatting facility for technical papers in various formats. When producing two-column output on a terminal, filter the output through col. Many nroff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package; however, the following requests can be used with impunity after the first .bp Begin a new page. .br Break the output line here. .ce n Center the next n lines. .ls n Use line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space. .na Do not justify (align) the right margin. .sp n Insert n spacing lines. .sz +n Add n to the point size. .ul n Underline the next n lines. Output of the neqn and tbl preprocessors for equations and tables is acceptable as input. REQUESTS
