12 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
13 | These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. | |
14 | A skeleton page may be found in the file | |
15 | /usr/man/man0/xx. | |
16 | .PP | |
17 | Any text argument | |
18 | .I t | |
19 | may be zero to six words. | |
20 | Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. | |
21 | If | |
22 | .I text | |
23 | is empty, | |
24 | the special treatment is applied to | |
25 | the next input line with text to be printed. | |
26 | In this way | |
27 | .BR . I | |
28 | may be used to italicize a whole line, or | |
29 | .BR . SM | |
30 | followed by | |
31 | .BR . B | |
32 | to make small bold letters. | |
33 | .PP | |
34 | A prevailing indent distance is remembered between | |
35 | successive indented paragraphs, | |
36 | and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph. | |
37 | Default units for indents | |
38 | .I i | |
39 | are ens. | |
40 | .PP | |
41 | Type font and size are reset to default values | |
42 | before each paragraph, and after processing | |
43 | font and size setting macros. | |
44 | .PP | |
45 | These strings are predefined by | |
46 | .BR \-man : | |

49 | .if t .I nroff. | |
