20: .SH DESCRIPTION
21: This package of
22: .I nroff
23: and
24: .I troff
25: macro definitions provides a canned formatting
26: facility for tech%nical papers in various formats.
27: When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter
28: the output through
29: .IR col (1).
30: .PP
31: The macro requests are defined below.
32: Many
33: .I nroff
34: and
35: .I troff
36: requests are unsafe in conjunction with
37: this package, however, these requests may be used with
38: impunity after the first .pp:
39: .nf
40: .IP
41: .ta \w'.sz +n 'u
42: \&.bp begin new page
43: \&.br break output line here
44: \&.sp n insert n spacing lines
45: \&.ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
46: \&.na no alignment of right margin
47: \&.ce n center next n lines
48: \&.ul n underline next n lines
49: \&.sz +n add n to point size

53: .I eqn,
54: .I neqn,
55: .I refer,
56: and
