15: .SH DESCRIPTION
16: These macros were used in the past to lay out pages of this manual.
17: A skeleton page may
18: be found in the file /usr/share/misc/man.template.
19: The new macros are in
20: .Xr mdoc 7 .
21: .PP
22: Any text argument
23: .I t
24: may be zero to six words.
25: Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'.
26: If
27: .I text
28: is empty,
29: special treatment is applied to
30: the next input line with text to be printed.
31: In this way
32: .BR . I
33: may be used to italicize a whole line, or
34: .BR . SM
35: may be
36: followed by
37: .BR . B
38: to make small bold letters.
39: .PP
40: A prevailing indent distance is remembered between
41: successive indented paragraphs,
42: and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph.
43: Default units for indents
44: .I i
45: are ens.
46: .PP
47: Type font and size are reset to default values
48: before each paragraph, and after processing
49: font and size setting macros.
50: .PP
51: These strings are predefined by
52: .BR \-man :
53: .IP \e*R
54: .if t `\*R', `(Reg)' in
55: .if t .I nroff.
56: .if n `(Reg)', trademark symbol in
57: .if n .I troff.
58: .IP \e*S
59: Change to default type size.
