17: Any text argument
18: .I t
19: may be zero to six words.

27: .BR . I
28: may be used to italicize a whole line, or
29: .BR . SM
30: followed by
31: .BR . B
32: to make small bold letters.
33: .PP
34: A prevailing indent distance is remembered between

37: Default units for indents
38: .I i
39: are ens.
40: .PP
41: Type font and size are reset to default values
42: before each paragraph, and after processing
43: font and size setting macros.
