NAME

ms - text formatting macros

SYNOPSIS

nroff -ms [options] filename...

troff -ms [options] filename...

DESCRIPTION

This package of nroff(1) and troff(1) macro definitions pro-

vides a formatting facility for various styles of articles,

theses, and books. When producing 2-column output on a ter-

minal or lineprinter, or when reverse line motions are

needed, filter the output through col(1). All external -ms

macros are defined below.

Note: this -ms macro package is an extended version written

at Berkeley and is a superset of the standard -ms macro

packages as supplied by Bell Labs. Some of the Bell Labs macros have been removed; for instance, it is assumed that the user has little interest in producing headers stating that the memo was generated at Whippany Labs. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package. However, the first four requests below may be used with impunity after initialization, and the last two may be used even before initialization: .bp begin new page .br break output line .sp n insert n spacing lines .ce n center next n lines .ls n line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space .na no alignment of right margin

Font and point size changes with \f and \s are also allowed; for example, \fIword\fR will italicize word. Output of the tbl(1), eqn(1) and refer(1) preprocessors for equations, tables, and references is acceptable as input. REQUESTS Macro Name Initial Value Break? Reset? Explanation
