This chapter presents the following topics:
Alphabetical summary of the man macros
Predefined strings
Names used internally by the man macros
Sample document
As many as six arguments may be given for all the macros that change fonts or produce a heading. Use double quotes around multiple words to get longer headings.
The .TS
, .TE
, .EQ
, and .EN
macros are not defined by the man macros. But because nroff and troff ignore unknown requests, you can still use them in your manpages; tbl and eqn work with no problems.
