4: NAME nroff -- format text
5: .sp

7: .nf
8: SYNOPSIS nroff_____ [+_N] [-s__] [-h__] [-q__] [-i__] files
9: .fi
10: .sp
11: .ti 0
12: DESCRIPTION nroff_____
13: formats text according to control lines embedded
14: in the text files.
15: The non-file option arguments are interpreted as follows:
16:
17: .in +6
18: .ti -3
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.
