.\" @(#)man.7 6.4 (Berkeley) 8/10/87 .\" .TH MAN 7 "August 10, 1987" .AT 3 .SH NAME man \- (deprecated) macros to typeset manual .SH SYNOPSIS .B nroff \-man\ file ... .PP .B troff \-man\ file ... .SH DESCRIPTION These macros were used in the past to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/share/misc/man.template. The new macros are in .Xr mdoc 7 . .PP Any text argument .I t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If .I text is empty, special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .BR . I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .BR . SM may be followed by .BR . B to make small bold letters. .PP A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph. Default units for indents .I i are ens. .PP Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros. .PP These strings are predefined by .BR \-man : .IP \e*R .if t `\*R', `(Reg)' in .if t .I nroff. .if n `(Reg)', trademark symbol in .if n .I troff. .IP \e*S Change to default type size. .SH FILES /usr/share/tmac/tmac.an .br /usr/man/man.template .SH SEE ALSO man(1), troff(1) .SH BUGS Relative indents don't nest. .SH REQUESTS .ta \w'.TH n c x v m'u +\w'Cause 'u +\w'Argument\ 'u .di xx \ka .br .di .in \nau .ti0 Request Cause If no Explanation .ti0 Break Argument .ti0 .tr ~. ~B \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.* Text .I t is bold. .ti0 ~BI \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.

Text .I t is small. .ti0 ~TH \fIn c x v m\fR yes - Begin page named .I n of chapter .IR c; .I x is extra commentary, e.g. `local', for page foot center; .I v alters page foot left, e.g. `4th Berkeley Distribution'; .I m alters page head center, e.g. `Brand X Programmer's Manual'. Set prevailing indent and tabs to .5i. .ti0 ~TP \fIi\fR yes \fIi\fR=p.i. Set prevailing indent to .I i. Begin indented paragraph with hanging tag given by next text line. If tag doesn't fit, place it on separate line. .PP .ti0 * n.t.l. = next text line; p.i. = prevailing indent
