        !            32: Macros that come in open ... close forms, for example,
        !            33: the .TS and .TE macros which must always come in pairs.

        !            46: a pair of macros.
        !            47: The six characters are
        !            48: a period,
        !            49: the first macro name,
        !            50: another period,
        !            51: and the second macro name.
        !            52: For example, to define a pair .BS and .ES, use \-\fBa\fP.BS.ES

        !            74: in mind, much the same as

        !            76: It expects a certain document writing style for \ef and \es commands,
        !            77: in that each \efx must be terminated with \efP and
        !            78: each \esx must be terminated with \es0.
        !            79: While it will work to directly go into the next font or explicitly
        !            80: specify the original font or point size,
        !            81: and many existing documents actually do this,
        !            82: such a practice will produce complaints from
        !            83: .I checknr.
        !            84: Since it is probably better to use the \efP and \es0 forms anyway,
        !            85: you should think of this as a contribution to your document
        !            86: preparation style.
