| 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 : |
| 47 | .IP \e*R |
| 48 | .if t `\*R', `(Reg)' in |
| 49 | .if t .I nroff. |
| 50 | .if n `(Reg)', trademark symbol in |
| 51 | .if n .I troff. |
