GROFF_ME(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GROFF_ME(7) NAME groff_me - troff macros for formatting papers SYNOPSIS groff -me [ options ] file ... groff -m me [ options ] file ... DESCRIPTION This manual page describes the GNU version of the -me macros, which is part of the groff document formatting system. This version can be used with both GNU troff and Unix troff. This package of troff macro definitions provides a canned formatting facility for technical papers in various for- mats. The macro requests are defined below. Many troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be used with im- punity 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 Output of the pic, eqn, refer, and tbl preprocessors is acceptable as in- put.
