1.1       root        1: #print
                      2: It is usually wise to do your formatting with
                      3: the "-ms" macro package developed by Mike Lesk, since
                      4: it does a lot of dirty work for you without any effort
                      5: on your part.
                      6: One of the things "-ms" does is to arrange that equations
                      7: are "displayed" - that is, that they are neatly centered
                      8: and set off from the surrounding text.
                      9: Most of the "-ms" package is described in another script
                     10: called "macros", which you may have already learned.
                     11: For now, we need only know this much: to use "-ms"
                     12: with neqn, add "-ms" to your command line, right after
                     13: the word "nroff", like this
                     14: 
                     15:   neqn files... | nroff -ms -Txxx
                     16: 
                     17: Notice where the "-ms" goes.
                     18: 
                     19: In this directory is a file called "Example".
                     20: To prove that you can type the "-ms" in the right place,
                     21: print "Example" with "-ms", then type "ready".
                     22: #once #create Example
                     23: .PP
                     24: This is a tiny little text
                     25: that includes one equation
                     26: or at least it will when you find this line:
                     27: .EQ
                     28: x sub i = y sub i
                     29: .EN
                     30: and convert it into an equation.
                     31: (Naturally I changed it.)
                     32: .pl 1
                     33: #copyin
                     34: #user
                     35: #uncopyin
                     36: grep 'neqn Example *| *nroff -ms' <.copy >/dev/null
                     37: #log
                     38: #next
                     39: 1.1d 10
