        !            14: in the text files.

        !            19: +N Output will commence at the first page whose page
        !            20: number is N (independent of whether or not the
        !            21: page number is being printed).
        !            22: 
        !            23: .ti -3
        !            24: -s Stop between pages. Printing will halt prior to
        !            25: each page (including the first) to permit paper
        !            26: loading and changing. Printing is restarted by
        !            27: typing either a "newline" or "delete" character.
        !            28: 
        !            29: .ti -3
        !            30: -h High-speed output. During output, strings of
        !            31: space characters are replaced where possible with
        !            32: tab characters to speed up output. Futhermore, if
        !            33: the output is directed into a file or a pipe,
        !            34: this mode effectively reduces the total number of
        !            35: characters in the file or pipe; this is especially
        !            36: important in multi-column output where the
        !            37: temporary file(s) or pipe(s) would otherwise contain
        !            38: a large number of space characters.
        !            39: 
        !            40: .ti -3
        !            41: -q The prompt names for insertions are not printed
        !            42: and the bell character is sent instead; in
        !            43: addition, the insertion is not echoed. This mode
        !            44: permits insertions during the actual output printing
        !            45: 
        !            46: .ti -3
        !            47: -i Index mode. NROFF creates a file called "index"
        !            48: containing every word output together with the
        !            49: line and page number. The format is word, tab,
        !            50: page, tab, line, newline, etc. Invoking this mode
        !            51: slows down the execution of NROFF considerably.
