5 me \- macros for formatting papers

14 \fBtroff\fR \fB-me\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIfilename\fR...
20 This package of \fBnroff\fR and \fBtroff\fR macro definitions provides a canned
21 formatting facility for technical papers in various formats. When producing
22 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through \fBcol\fR(1).
25 The macro requests are defined below. Many \fBnroff\fR and \fBtroff\fR requests
26 are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be
27 used with impunity after the first \fB\&.pp\fR:
43 break output line here
52 insert \fIn\fR spacing lines
61 (line spacing) \fIn\fR=1 single, \fIn\fR=2 double space
70 no alignment of right margin
79 center next \fIn\fR lines
88 underline next \fIn\fR lines
97 add \fIn\fR to point size
102 Output of the \fBeqn\fR(1), \fBneqn\fR(1), \fBrefer\fR(1), and \fBtbl\fR(1)
103 preprocessors for equations and tables is acceptable as input.
107 In the following list, "initialization" refers to the first \fB\&.pp,\fR
108 \fB\&.lp\fR, \fB\&.ip\fR, \fB\&.np\fR, \fB\&.sh\fR, or \fB\&.uh\fR macro. This
