me - macros for formatting papers

SYNOPSIS

nroff -me [ options ] filename...
troff -me [ options ] filename...

DESCRIPTION

This package of nroff and troff macro definitions provides a canned formatting facility for technical papers in various formats. When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through col.1

The macro requests are defined below. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be used with impunity after the first .pp:


.bp	begin new page
.br	break output line here
.sp n	insert n spacing lines
.ls n	(line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
.na	no alignment of right margin
.ce n	center next n lines
.ul n	underline next n lines
.sz +n	add n to point size

Output of the eqn.1 neqn.1 refer.1 and tbl.1 preprocessors for equations and tables is acceptable as input.

REQUESTS

In the following list, ``initialization'' refers to the first .pp, .lp, .ip, .np, .sh, or .uh macro. This list is incomplete.
