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