.\" @(#)man.7 4.1 (Berkeley) %G% .\" .TH MAN 7 .AT 3 .SH NAME man \- macros to typeset manual .SH SYNOPSIS .B nroff \-man\ file ... .PP .B troff \-man\ file ... .SH DESCRIPTION These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man0/xx. .PP Any text argument .I t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If .I text is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .BR . I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .BR . SM followed by .BR . B to make small bold letters. .PP 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 are ens. .PP Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros. .PP These strings are predefined by .BR \-man : .IP \e*R .if t `\*R', `(Reg)' in .if t .I nroff. .if n `(Reg)', trademark symbol in .if n .I troff. .IP \e*S Change to default type size. .SH FILES /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an .br /usr/man/man0/xx .SH SEE ALSO troff(1), man(1) .SH BUGS Relative indents don't nest. .SH REQUESTS .ta \w'.TH n c x 'u +\w'Cause 'u +\w'Argument\ 'u .di xx \ka .br .di .in \nau .ti0 Request Cause If no Explanation .ti0 Break Argument .ti0 .li .B \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.* Text .I t is bold. .ti0 .li .BI \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.
