<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
These macros are used to format pages of this manual.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Except in <tt><font size=+1>.LR</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>.RL</font></tt> requests, any text argument denoted <i>t</i> in
the request summary may be zero to six words. Quotes <tt><font size=+1>"</font></tt> ... <tt><font size=+1>"</font></tt> may
be used to include blanks in a ‘word’. If <i>t</i> 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, <tt><font size=+1>.I
</font></tt>may be used to italicize a line of more than 6 words, or <tt><font size=+1>.SM</font></tt> followed
by <tt><font size=+1>.B</font></tt> to make small letters in ‘bold’ font.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
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>i</i> are ens.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
The fonts are<br>
<tt><font size=+1>R</font></tt> roman, the main font, preferred for diagnostics<br>
<tt><font size=+1>I</font></tt> italic, preferred for parameters, short names of commands, names
of manual pages, and naked function names<br>
<tt><font size=+1>B</font></tt> ‘bold’, actually the constant width font, preferred for examples,
file names, declarations, keywords, names of <tt><font size=+1>struct</font></tt> members, and
literals (numbers are rarely literals)<br>
<tt><font size=+1>L</font></tt> also the constant width font. In <i>troff</i> <tt><font size=+1>L</font></tt>=<tt><font size=+1>B</font></tt>; in <i>nroff</i> arguments
of the macros <tt><font size=+1>.L</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>.LR</font></tt>, and <tt><font size=+1>.RL</font></tt> are printed in quotes; preferred
only where quotes really help (e.g. lower-case literals and punctuation).
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph,
and after processing font- or size-setting macros.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
The <tt><font size=+1>−man</font></tt> macros admit equations and tables in the style of <a href="../man1/eqn.html"><i>eqn</i>(1)</a>
and <a href="../man1/tbl.html"><i>tbl</i>(1)</a>, but do not support arguments on <tt><font size=+1>.EQ</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>.TS</font></tt> macros.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
These strings are predefined by <tt><font size=+1>−man</font></tt>:<br>
<tt><font size=+1>\*R</font></tt> ‘®’, ‘(Reg)’ in <i>nroff</i>.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>\*S</font></tt> Change to default type size. <tt><font size=+1>\*9</font></tt> The root directory of the
Plan 9 installation.<br>

<p><font size=+1><b>BUGS </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
There’s no way to fool <i>troff</i> into handling literal double quote
marks <tt><font size=+1>"</font></tt> in font-alternation macros, such as <tt><font size=+1>.BI</font></tt>.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
There is no direct way to suppress column widows in 2-column output;
the column lengths may be adjusted by inserting <tt><font size=+1>.sp</font></tt> requests before
the closing <tt><font size=+1>.1C</font></tt>.<br>
