  - )E level text
- Adds text (heading-text) to the table of contents with level
      either 0 or between 1-7. See also .H. This macro is used for
      customized table of contents.
- 1C [1]
- Begin one column processing. An 1 as argument disables the
      page-break. Use wide footnotes, small footnotes may be overprinted.
- 2C
- Begin two column processing. Splits the page in two columns. It is a
      special case of MC. See also 1C.
- AE
- Abstract end, see AS.
- AF [name of firm]
- Authors firm, should be called before AU, see also
    COVER.
- AL [type [text-indent [1]]]
- Start autoincrement list. Items are numbered beginning on one. The
      type argument controls the type of numbers.
    
 ArgDescription 1 Arabic (the default) A Upper-case letters (A-Z) a Lower-case letters (a-z) I Upper-case roman i Lower-case roman
      
 Text-indent sets the indent and overrides Li. A third
        argument will prohibit printing of a blank line before each item.
 
- APP name text
- Begin an appendix with name name. Automatic naming occurs if
      name is "". The appendixes starts with A if auto
      is used. An new page is ejected, and a header is also produced if the
      number variable Aph is non-zero. This is the default. The appendix
      always appear in the 'List of contents' with correct pagenumber. The name
      APPENDIX can be changed by setting the string App to the
      desired text. The string Apptxt contains the current appendix
    text.
- APPSK name pages text
- Same as .APP, but the pagenr is incremented with pages. This
      is used when diagrams or other non-formatted documents are included as
      appendixes.
- AS [arg [indent]]
- Abstract start. Indent is specified in 'ens', but scaling is allowed.
      Argument arg controls where the abstract is printed.
    
 ArgPlacement 0 Abstract will be printed on page 1 and on the cover sheet if
        used in the released-paper style (MT 4), otherwise it will be
        printed on page 1 without a cover sheet. 1 Abstract will only be printed on the cover sheet (MT 4
        only). 2 Abstract will be printed only on the cover sheet (other than
        MT 4 only). The cover sheet is printed without need for
        CS.
      
 Abstract is not printed at all in external letters (MT 5). The
        indent controls the indentation of both margins, otherwise will
        normal text indent be used.
 
- AST [title]
- Abstract title. Default is ABSTRACT. Sets the text above the
      abstract text.
- AT title1 [title2 ...]
- Authors title. AT must appear just after each AU. The title
      will show up after the name in the signature block.
- AU [name [initials [loc [dept [ext [room [arg [arg
    [arg]]]]]]]]]
- Author information, specifies the author of the memo or paper, and will be
      printed on the cover sheet and on other similar places. AU must not
      appear before TL. The author information can contain initials,
      location, department, telephone extension, room number or name and up to
      three extra arguments.
- AV [name [1]]
- Approval signature, generates an approval line with place for signature
      and date. The string APPROVED: can be changed with variable
      Letapp, and the string Date in Letdate.
- AVL [name]
- Letter signature, generates a line with place for signature.
- B [bold-text [prev-font-text [bold...]]]
- Begin boldface. No limit on the number of arguments. All arguments will be
      concatenated to one word, the first, third and so on will be printed in
      boldface.
- B1
- Begin box (as the ms macro). Draws a box around the text. The text will be
      indented one character, and the right margin will be one character
      shorter.
- B2
- End box. Finish the box started by B1.
- BE
- End bottom block, see BS.
- BI [bold-text [italic-text [bold-text [...]]]]
- Bold-italic. No limit on the number of arguments, see B.
- BL [text-indent [1]]
- Start bullet list, initialize a list with a bullet and a space in the
      beginning of each list item (see LI). Text-indent overrides
      the default indentation of the list items set by number register
      Pi. A third argument will prohibit printing of a blank line before
      each item.
- BR [bold-text [roman-text [bold-text [...]]]]
- Bold-roman. No limit on the number of arguments.
- BS
- Bottom block start. Begins the definition of a text block which is printed
      at the bottom of each page. Block ends with BE.
- BVL text-indent [mark-indent [1]]
- Start of broken variable-item list. Broken variable-item list has no fixed
      mark, it assumes that every LI has a mark instead. The text will
      always begin at the next line after the mark. Text-indent sets the
      indent to the text, and mark-indent the distance from the current
      indent to the mark. A third argument will prohibit printing of a blank
      line before each item.
- COVER [arg]
- COVER begins a coversheet definition. It is important that
      .COVER appears before any normal text. .COVER uses
      arg to build the filename /usr/share/tmac/mm/arg.cov.
      Therefore it is possible to create unlimited types of coversheets.
      ms.cov is supposed to look like the ms coversheet.
      .COVER requires a .COVEND at the end of the coverdefinition.
      Always use this order of the covermacros:
    
.COVER
.TL
.AF
.AU
.AT
.AS
.AE
.COVEND
    However, only .TL and .AU are required.
- COVEND
- This finish the cover description and prints the cover-page. It is defined
      in the cover file.
- DE
- Display end. Ends a block of text, display, that begins with DS or
      DF.
- DF [format [fill [rindent]]]
- Begin floating display (no nesting allowed). A floating display is saved
      in a queue and is printed in the order entered. Format, fill
      and rindent is the same as in DS. Floating displays are
      controlled by the two number registers De and Df.
    De register
      
 0
 Nothing special, this is the default. 1 A page eject will occur after each printed display, giving
        only one display per page and no text following it.
      
 
 Df register
      
 0
 Displays are printed at the end of each section (when
        section-page numbering is active) or at the end of the document. 1 A new display will be printed on the current page if there is
        enough space, otherwise it will be printed at the end of the document.
      2 One display will be printed at the top of each page or column
        (in multi-column mode). 3 Print one display if there is enough space for it, otherwise
        it will be printed at the top of the next page or column. 4 Print as many displays that will fit in a new page or column.
        A page break will occur between each display if De is not zero.
      5 Fill the current page with displays and the rest beginning at
        a new page or column. (This is the default.) A page break will occur
        between each display if De is not zero.
      
 
 
- DL [text-indent [1 [1]]]
- Dash list start. Begins a list where each item is printed after a dash.
      Text-indent changes the default indentation of the list items set
      by number register Pi. A second argument prevents the empty line
      between each list item to be printed. See LI. A third argument will
      prohibit printing of a blank line before each item.
- DS [format [fill [rindent]]]
- Static display start. Begins collection of text until DE. The text
      is printed together on the same page, unless it is longer than the height
      of the page. DS can be nested to a unlimited depth (reasonably :-).
    format
      
 ""
 No indentation. none No indentation. L No indentation. I Indent text with the value of number register Si. C Center each line CB Center the whole display as a block. R Right adjust the lines. RB Right adjust the whole display as a block
      
 
 L, I, C and CB can also be specified as 0, 1, 2 or 3 for
        compatibility reasons. (Don't use it. :-) fill
      
 ""
 Line-filling turned off. none Line-filling turned off. N Line-filling turned off. F Line-filling turned on.
      
 
 N and F can also be specified as 0 or 1. An empty line will
        normally be printed before and after the display. Setting number
        register Ds to 0 will prevent this. Rindent shortens the
        line length by that amount. 
- EC [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
- Equation title. Sets a title for an equation. The override argument
      change the numbering.
    flag
      
 none
 override is a prefix to the number. 0 override is a prefix to the number. 1 override is a suffix to the number. 2 override replaces the number.
      
 EC uses the number register Ec as counter. It is possible to
        use .af to change the format of the number. If number register
        Of is 1, then the format of title will use a dash instead of a
        dot after the number.
 The string Le controls the title of the List of Equations, default
        is LIST OF EQUATIONS. The List of Equations will only be printed
        if number register Le is 1, default 0. The string Liec
        contains the word Equation, wich is printed before the number. If
        refname is used, then the equation number is saved with
        .SETR, and can be retrieved with .GETST refname.
 Special handling of the title will occur if EC is used inside
        DS/DE, it will not be affected by the format of
      DS.
 
- EF [arg]
- Even-page footer, printed just above the normal page footer on even pages,
      see PF.
- EH [arg]
- Even-page header, printed just below the normal page header on even pages,
      see PH.
- EN
- Equation end, see EQ.
- EOP
- End of page user-defined macro. This macro will be called instead of the
      normal printing of the footer. The macro will be executed in a separate
      environment, without any trap active. See TP.
    Strings available to EOP
      
 EOPf
 Argument from PF. EOPef Argument from EF. EOPof Argument from OF.
      
 
 
- EPIC [-L] width height [name]
- EPIC draws a box with the given width and height, it
      will also print the text name or a default string if name is
      not specified.. This is used to include external pictures, just give the
      size of the picture. -L will leftadjust the picture, the default is
      to center adjust. See PIC
- EQ [label]
- Equation start. EQ/EN are the delimiters for equations
      written for eqn. EQ/EN must be inside a
      DS/DE-pair, except when EQ is only used to set
      options in eqn. The label will appear at the right margin of
      the equation, unless number register Eq is 1. Then the label
      will appear at the left margin.
- EX [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
- Exhibit title, arguments are the same as for EC. EX uses the
      number register Ex as counter. The string Lx controls the
      title of the List of Exhibits, default is LIST OF EXHIBITS. The
      List of Exhibits will only be printed if number register Lx is 1,
      default 1. The string Liex contains the word Exhibit, which
      is printed before the number. If refname is used, then the exhibit
      number is saved with .SETR, and can be retrieved with .GETST
      refname.
    
 Special handling of the title will occur if EX is used inside
      DS/DE, it will not be affected by the format of
    DS.
- FC [closing]
- Prints Yours very truly, as a formal closing of a
      letter or memorandum. The argument replaces the defualt string. The
      default is stored in string variable Letfc.
- FD [arg [1]]
- Footnote default format. Controls the hyphenation (hyphen), right margin
      justification (adjust), indentation of footnote text (indent). It can also
      change the label justification (ljust).
    
    
arg	hyphen	adjust	indent	ljust
0	no	yes	yes	left
1	yes	yes	yes	left
2	no	no	yes	left
3	yes	no	yes	left
4	no	yes	no	left
5	yes	yes	no	left
6	no	no	no	left
7	yes	no	no	left
8	no	yes	yes	right
9	yes	yes	yes	right
10	no	no	yes	right
11	yes	no	yes	right
    Argument greater than or equal to 11 is considered as arg 0. Default for mm
      is 10.
- FE
- Footnote end.
- FG [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
- Figure title, arguments are the same as for EC. FG uses the
      number register Fg as counter. The string Lf controls the
      title of the List of Figures, default is LIST OF FIGURES. The List
      of Figures will only be printed if number register Lf is 1, default
      1. The string Lifg contains the word Figure, wich is printed
      before the number. If refname is used, then the figure number is
      saved with .SETR, and can be retrieved with .GETST
      refname.
    
 Special handling of the title will occur if FG is used inside
      DS/DE, it will not be affected by the format of
    DS.
- FS [label]
- Footnote start. The footnote is ended by FE. Footnotes is normally
      automatically numbered, the number is available in string F. Just
      add \*F in the text. By adding label, it is possible to have
      other number or names on the footnotes. Footnotes in displays is now
      possible. An empty line separates footnotes, the height of the line is
      controlled by number register Fs, default value is 1.
- GETHN refname [varname]
- Includes the headernumber where the corresponding SETR
      refname was placed. Will be X.X.X. in pass 1. See
      INITR. If varname is used, GETHN sets the
      stringvariable varname to the headernumber.
- GETPN refname [varname]
- Includes the pagenumber where the corresponding SETR refname
      was placed. Will be 9999 in pass 1. See INITR. If
      varname is used, GETPN sets the stringvariable
      varname to the pagenumber.
- GETR refname
- Combines GETHN and GETPN with the text 'chapter' and ',
      page'. The string Qrf contains the text for reference: .ds Qrf See
      chapter \\*[Qrfh], page \\*[Qrfp].
    
 Qrf may be changed to support other languages. Strings Qrfh
      and Qrfp are set by GETR and contains the page and
      headernumber.
- GETST refname [varname]
- Includes the string saved with the second argument to .SETR. Will
      be dummystring in pass 1. If varname is used, GETST sets the
      stringvariable varname to the saved string. See INITR.
- H level [heading-text [heading-suffix]]
- Numbered section heading. Section headers can have a level between 1 and
      14, level 1 is the top level. The text is given in heading-text,
      and must be surrounded by double quotes if it contains spaces.
      Heading-suffix is added to the header in the text but not in the
      table of contents. This is normally used for footnote marks and similar
      things. Don't use \*F in heading-suffix, it won't work. A
      manual label must be used, see FS.
    An eventual paragraph, P, directly after H will
        be ignored, H is taking care of spacing and indentation. Page ejection before heading
      
 Number register Ej controls page ejection before the heading.
        Normally, a level one heading gets two blank lines before it, higher
        levels gets only one. A new page is ejected before each first-level
        heading if number register Ej is 1. All levels below or equal the
        value of Ej gets a new page. Default value for Ej is
      0.
 Heading break level
      
 A line break occurs after the heading if the heading level is less or
        equal to number register Hb. Default value 2.
 Heading space level
      
 A blank line is inserted after the heading if the heading level is less or
        equal to number register Hs. Default value 2.
 Text will follow the heading on the same line if the level is
        greater than both Hb and Hs. Post-heading indent
      
 Indentation of the text after the heading is controlled by number register
        Hi, default value 0.
 Hi
      
 0
 The text will be left-justified. 1 Indentation of the text will follow the value of number
        register Pt, see P. 2 The text will be lined up with the first word of the heading.
      
 
 Centered section headings
      
 All headings whose level is equal or below number register Hc and
        also less than or equal to Hb or Hs is centerered.
 Font control of the heading
      
 The font of each heading level is controlled by string HF. It
        contains a fontnumber or fontname for each level. Default is
        2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
        (all headings in italic). Could also be written as
        I I I I I I I I I I I I I I.
        Note that some other implementations use
        3 3 2 2 2 2 2 as the
        default value. All omitted values are presumed to be a 1.
 Point size control.
      
 String HP controls the pointsize of each heading, in the same way
        as HF controls the font. A value of 0 selects the default point
        size. Default value is
        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
        Beware that only the point size changes, not the vertical size. That can
        be controlled by the user specified macro HX and/or
      HZ.
 Heading counters
      
 Fourteen number registers, named H1 thru H14 contains the
        counter for each heading level. The values are printed using arabic
        numerals, this can be changed with the macro HM (see below). All
        marks are concatenated before printing. To avoid this, set number
        register Ht to 1. That will only print the current heading
        counter at each heading.
 Automatic table of contents
      
 All headings whose level is equal or below number register Cl is
        saved to be printed in the table of contents. Default value
      is 2.
 Special control of the heading, user-defined macros.
      
 These macros can be defined by the user to get a finer control of vertical
        spacing, fonts or other features. Argument level is the
        level-argument to H, but 0 for unnumbered headings (see
        HU). Argument rlevel is the real level, it is set to
        number register Hu for unnumbered headings. Argument
        heading-text is the text argument to H and HU.
 HX level rlevel heading-text
      
 HX is called just before the printing of the heading. The following
        register is available for HX. HX may alter }0,
        }2 and ;3.
 string }0
 Contains the heading mark plus two spaces if rlevel is non-zero,
        otherwise empty. register ;0
 Contains the position of the text after the heading. 0 means that the text
        should follow the heading on the same line, 1 means that a line break
        should occur before the text and 2 means that a blank line should
        separate the heading and the text. string }2
 Contains two spaces if register ;0 is 0. It is used to
        separate the heading from the text. The string is empty if ;0 is
        non-zero. register ;3
 Contains the needed space in units after the heading. Default is 2v.
 Can be used to change things like numbering (}0),
        vertical spacing (}2) and the needed space after the heading.
      
 
 HY dlevel rlevel heading-text
      
 HY is called after size and font calculations and might be used to
        change indentation.
 HZ dlevel rlevel heading-text
      
 HZ is called after the printing of the heading, just before
        H or HU exits. Could be used to change the page header
        according to the section heading.
 
- HC [hyphenation-character]
- Set hyphenation character. Default value is \%. Resets to the default if
      called without argument. Hyphenation can be turned off by setting number
      register Hy to 0 in the beginning of the file.
- HM [arg1 [arg2 [... [arg14]]]]
- Heading mark style. Controls the type of marking for printing of the
      heading counters. Default is 1 for all levels.
    Argument
      
 1
 Arabic numerals. 0001 Arabic numerals with leading zeroes, one or more. A Upper-case alphabetic a Lower-case alphabetic I Upper-case roman numerals i lower-case roman numerals empty Arabic numerals.
      
 
 
- HU heading-text
- Unnumbered section header. HU behavies like H at the level
      in number register Hu. See H.
- HX dlevel rlevel heading-text
- Userdefined heading exit. Called just before printing the header. See
      H.
- HY dlevel rlevel heading-text
- Userdefined heading exit. Called just before printing the header. See
      H.
- HZ dlevel rlevel heading-text
- Userdefined heading exit. Called just after printing the header. See
      H.
- I [italic-text [prev-font-text [italic-text [...]]]]
- Italic. Changes the font to italic if called without arguments. With one
      argument it will set the word in italic. With two argument it will
      concatenate them and set the first word in italic and the second in the
      previous font. There is no limit on the number of argument, all will be
      concatenated.
- IA [addressee-name [title]]
- Begins specification of the addressee and addressee's address in letter
      style. Several names can be specified with empty
      IA/IE-pairs, but only one address. See LT.
- IB [italic-text [bold-text [italic-text [...]]]]
- Italic-bold. Even arguments is printed in italic, odd in boldface. See
      I.
- IE
- Ends the address-specification after IA.
- INITI type filename [macro]
- Initialize the new index system, sets the filename to collect index lines
      in with IND. Argument type selects the type of index, page
      number, header marks or both. The default is N.
    It is also possible to create a macro that is responsible for
        formatting each row. Add the name of the macro as argument 3. The
        macro will be called with the index as argument(s). type
      
 N
 Page numbers H Header marks B Both page numbers and header marks, tab separated
      
 
 
- INITR filename
- Initialize the refencemacros. References will be written to stderr and is
      supposed to be written to filename.qrf. Requires two passes with
      groff, this is handled by a separate program called mmroff, the
      reason is that groff is often installed without the unsafe operations that
      INITR requiered. The first pass looks for references and the second
      one includes them. INITR can be used several times, but it is only
      the first occurrence of INITR that is active.
    See also SETR, GETPN and GETHN. 
- IND arg1 [arg2 [...]]
- IND writes a line in the index file selected by INITI with
      all arguments and the page number or header mark separated by tabs.
    
 Examples
 arg1\tpage number
 arg1\targ2\tpage number
 arg1\theader mark
 arg1\tpage number\theader mark
 
- INDP
- INDP prints the index by running the command specified by string
      variable Indcmd, normally sort -t\t. INDP
      reads the output from the command to form the index, normally in two
      columns (can be changed by defining TYIND). The index is printed
      with string variable Index as header, default is INDEX.
      One-column processing is returned after the list. INDP will call
      the user-defined macros TXIND, TYIND and TZIND if
      defined. TXIND is called before printing INDEX, TYIND
      is called instead of printing INDEX. TZIND is called after
      the printing and should take care of restoring to normal operation
    again.
- ISODATE [0]
- ISODATE changes the predefined date string in DT to
      ISO-format, ie YYYY-MM-DD. This can also be done by adding -rIso=1
      on the command line. Reverts to old date format if argument is
    0.
- IR [italic-text [roman-text [italic-text [...]]]]
- Italic-roman. Even arguments is printed in italic, odd in roman. See
      I.
- LB text-indent mark-indent pad type [mark [LI-space
    [LB-space]]]
- List begin macro. This is the common macro used for all lists.
      Text-indent is the number of spaces to indent the text from the
      current indent.
    Pad and mark-indent controls where to put the
        mark. The mark is placed within the mark area, and mark-indent
        sets the number of spaces before this area. It is normally 0. The
        mark area ends where the text begins. The start of the text is still
        controlled by text-indent. The mark is left justified whitin the mark area if pad
        is 0. If pad is greater than 0, then mark-indent is
        ignored, and the mark is placed pad spaces before the text. This
        will right justify the mark. If type is 0 the list will have either a hanging indent
        or, if argument mark is given, the string mark as
      mark. If type is greater than 0 automatic numbering will
        occur, arabic if mark is empty. Mark can then be any of
        1, A, a, I or i. Type selects one of six possible ways to display the
        mark.

 x. 2 x) 3 (x) 4 [x] 5 <x> 6 {x}
      
 
 Every item in the list will get LI-space number of
        blank lines before them. Default is 1. LB itself will print LB-space blank lines.
        Default is 0. 
- LC [list-level]
- List-status clear. Terminates all current active lists down to
      list-level, or 0 if no argmuent is given. This is used by H
      to clear any active list.
- LE [1]
- List end. Terminate the current list. LE outputs a blank line if an
      argument is given.
- LI [mark [1]]
- List item precedes every item in a list. Without argument LI will
      print the mark determined by the current list type. By giving LI
      one argument, it will use that as the mark instead. Two arguments to
      LI will make mark a prefix to the current mark. There will
      be no separating space between the prefix and the mark if the second
      argument is 2 instead of 1. This behaviour can also be
      achieved by setting number register Limsp to zero. A zero length
      mark will make a hanging indent instead.
    A blank line is normally printed before the list item. This
        behaviour can be controlled by number register Ls. Pre-spacing
        will occur for each list-level less than or equal to Ls. Default
        value is 99. (Nesting of lists is unlimited. :-) The indentation can be changed thru number register Li.
        Default is 6. All lists begins with a list initialization macro, LB.
        There are, however, seven predefined listtypes to make lists easier to
        use. They all call LB with different default values.

- LT [arg]
- Formats a letter in one of four different styles depending on the
      argument. See also INTERNALS.
    
 ArgStyle BL Blocked. Date line, return address, writer's address and
        closing begins at the center of the line. All other lines begin at the
        left margin. SB Semi-blocked. Same as blocked, except that the first line in
        every paragraph is indented five spaces. FB Full-blocked. All lines begin at the left margin. SP Simplified. Almost the same as the full-blocked style. Subject
        and the writer's identification are printed in all-capital.
      
 
 
- LO type [arg]
- Specify options in letter (see .LT). This is a list of the standard
      options:
    
 CNConfidential notation. Prints CONFIDENTIAL on the
        second line below the date line. Any argument replaces
        CONFIDENTIAL. See also string variable LetCN. RN Reference notation. Prints In reference to: and the
        argument two lines below the date line. See also string variable
        LetRN. AT Attention. Prints ATTENTION: and the argument below the
        inside address. See also string variable LetAT. SA Salutation. Prints To Whom It May Concern: or the
        argument if it was present. The salutation is printed two lines below
        the inside address. See also string variable LetSA. SJ Subject line. Prints the argument as subject prefixed with
        SUBJECT: two lines below the inside address, except in letter
        type SP. Then the subject is printed in all-captial without any
        prefix. See also string variable LetSJ.
      
 
 
- MC column-size [column-separation] 
- Begin multiple columns. Return to normal with 1C. MC will
      create as many columns as the current line length permits.
      Column-size is the width of each column, and
      column-separation is the space between two columns. Default
      separation is the column-size/15. See also 1C.
- ML mark [text-indent [1]]
- Marked list start. The mark argument will be printed before each
      list item. Text-indent sets the indent and overrides Li. A
      third argument will prohibit printing of a blank line before each
    item.
- MT [arg [addressee]]
- Memorandum type. The arg is part of a filename in
      /usr/share/tmac/mm/*.MT. Memorandum type 0 thru 5 are supported,
      including "string". Addressee just sets a
      variable, used in the AT&T macros.
    
 arg
 0Normal memorandum, no type printed 1 Memorandum with MEMORANDUM FOR FILE printed 2 Memorandum with PROGRAMMER'S NOTES printed 3 Memorandum with ENGINEER'S NOTES printed 4 Released paper style 5 External letter style
      
 See also COVER/COVEND, a more flexible type of front
      page.
 
- MOVE y-pos [x-pos [line-length]]
- Move to a position, pageoffset set to x-pos. If line-length
      is not given, the difference between current and new pageoffset is used.
      Use PGFORM without arguments to return to normal.
- MULB cw1 space1 [cw2 space2 [cw3 ...]]
- Begin a special multi-column mode. Every columns width must be specified.
      Also the space between the columns must be specified. The last column does
      not need any space-definition. MULB starts a diversion and
      MULE ends the diversion and prints the columns. The unit for width
      and space is 'n', but MULB accepts all normal unitspecifications
      like 'c' and 'i'. MULB operates in a separate environment.
- MULN
- Begin the next column. This is the only way to switch column.
- MULE
- End the multi-column mode and print the columns.
- nP [type]
- Print numbered paragraph with header level two. See .P.
- NCOL
- Force printing to the next column, don't use this together with the
      MUL* macros, see 2C.
- NS [arg [1]]
- Prints different types of notations. The argument selects between the
      predefined type of notations. If the second argument is available, then
      the argument becomes the entire notation. If the argument doesn't exist in
      the predefined, it will be printed as Copy (arg) to.
      It is possible to add more standard notations, see the string variable
      Letns and Letnsdef.

- ND new-date
- New date. Override the current date. Date is not printed if
      new-date is an empty string.
- OF [arg]
- Odd-page footer, a line printed just above the normal footer. See
      EF and PF.
- OH [arg]
- Odd-page header, a line printed just below the normal header. See
      EH and PH.
- OP
- Make sure that the following text is printed at the top of an odd-numbered
      page. Will not output an empty page if currently at the top of an odd
      page.
- P [type]
- Begin new paragraph. P without argument will produce left justified
      text, even the first line of the paragraph. This is the same as setting
      type to 0. If the argument is 1, then the first line of text
      following P will be indented by the number of spaces in number
      register Pi, normally 5.
    Instead of giving 1 as argument to P it is possible to
        set the paragraph type in number register Pt. Using 0
        and 1 will be the same as adding that value to P. A value
        of 2 will indent all paragraphs, except after headings, lists and
        displays. The space between two paragraphs is controlled by number
        register Ps, and is 1 by default (one blank line). 
- PGFORM [linelength [pagelength [pageoffset [1]]]]
- Sets linelength, pagelength and/or pageoffset. This macro can be used for
      special formatting, like letterheads and other. It is normally the first
      command in a file, though it's not necessary. PGFORM can be used
      without arguments to reset everything after a MOVE. A line-break is
      done unless the fourth argument is given. This can be used to avoid the
      pagenumber on the first page while setting new width and length. (It seems
      as if this macro sometimes doesn't work too well. Use the command line
      arguments to change linelength, pagelength and pageoffset instead.
    Sorry.)
- PGNH
- No header is printed on the next page. Used to get rid of the header in
      letters or other special texts. This macro must be used before any text to
      inhibit the pageheader on the first page.
- PIC [-L] [-C] [-R] [-I n] filename [width [height]]
- PIC includes a Postscript file in the document. The macro depends
      on mmroff and INITR. -L, -C, -R and
      -I n adjusts the picture or indents it. The optionally width
      and height can also be given to resize the picture.
- PE
- Picture end. Ends a picture for pic, see the manual for
    pic.
- PF [arg]
- Page footer. PF sets the line to be printed at the bottom of each
      page. Normally empty. See PH for the argument specification.
- PH [arg]
- Page header, a line printed at the top of each page. The argument should
      be specified as "'left-part'center-part'right-part'", where
      left-, center- and right-part is printed left-justified, centered and
      right justified. The character % is changed to the current page
      number. The default page-header is "''- % -''", the page number
      between two dashes.
- PS
- Picture start (from pic). Begins a picture for pic, see the
    manual.
- PX
- Page-header user-defined exit. PX is called just after the printing
      of the page header in no-space mode.
- R
- Roman. Return to roman font, see also I.
- RB [roman-text [bold-text [roman-text [...]]]]
- Roman-bold. Even arguments is printed in roman, odd in boldface. See
      I.
- RD [prompt [diversion [string]]]
- Read from standard input to diversion and/or string. The text will be
      saved in a diversion named diversion. Recall the text by writing
      the name of the diversion after a dot on an empty line. A string will also
      be defined if string is given. Diversion and/or
      prompt can be empty ("").
- RF
- Reference end. Ends a reference definition and returns to normal
      processing. See RS.
- RI [roman-text [italic-text [roman-text [...]]]]
- Even arguments are printed in roman, odd in italic. See I.
- RL [text-indent [1]]
- Reference list start. Begins a list where each item is preceded with a
      automatically incremented number between square brackets.
      Text-indent changes the default indentation.
- RP [arg1 [arg2]]
- Produce reference page. RP can be used if a reference page is
      wanted somewhere in the document. It is not needed if TC is used to
      produce a table of content. The reference page will then be printed
      automatically.
    The reference counter will not be reset if arg1 is
      1. Arg2 tells RP whether to eject a page or not.
      
 Arg2
 0
 The reference page will be printed on a separate page. This is
        the default. 1 Do not eject page after the list. 2 Do not eject page before the list. 3 Do not eject page before and after the list.
      
 The reference items will be separated by a blank line. Setting number
        register Ls to 0 will suppress the line.
 The string Rp contains the reference page title and is
        normally set to REFERENCES. 
- RS [string-name]
- RS begins an automatically numbered reference definition. Put the
      string \*(Rf where the reference mark should be and write the
      reference between RS/RF at next new line after the reference
      mark. The reference number is stored in number register :R. If
      string-name is given, a string with that name will be defined and
      contain the current reference mark. The string can be referenced as
      \*[ string-name] later in the
    text.
- S [size [spacing]]
- Set point size and vertical spacing. If any argument is equal 'P', then
      the previous value is used. A 'C' means current value, and 'D' default
      value. If '+' or '-' is used before the value, then increment or decrement
      of the current value will be done.
- SA [arg]
- Set right-margin justification. Justification is normally turned on. No
      argumenent or 0 turns off justification, a 1 turns on
      justification.
- SETR refname [string]
- Remember the current header and page-number as refname. Saves
      string if string is defined. string is retrieved with
      .GETST. See INITR.
- SG [arg [1]]
- Signature line. Prints the authors name(s) after the formal closing. The
      argument will be appended to the reference data, printed at either the
      first or last author. The reference data is the location, department and
      initials specified with .AU. It will be printed at the first author
      if the second argument is given, otherwise at the last. No reference data
      will be printed if the author(s) is specified thru .WA/.WE.
      See INTERNALS.
- SK [pages]
- Skip pages. If pages is 0 or omitted, a skip to the next
      page will occur unless it is already at the top of a page. Otherwise it
      will skip pages pages.
- SM string1 [string2 [string3]]
- Make a string smaller. If string2 is given, string1 will be
      smaller and string2 normal, concatenated with string1. With
      three argument, all is concatenated, but only string2 is made
      smaller.
- SP [lines]
- Space vertically. lines can have any scalingfactor, like 3i
      or 8v. Several SP in a line will only produce the maximum
      number of lines, not the sum. SP will also be ignored until the
      first textline in a page. Add a \& before SP to avoid
      this.
- TAB
- reset tabs to every 5n. Normally used to reset any previous
      tabpositions.
- TB [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
- Table title, arguments are the same as for EC. TB uses the
      number register Tb as counter. The string Lt controls the
      title of the List of Tables, default is LIST OF TABLES. The List of
      Tables will only be printed if number register Lt is 1, default 1.
      The string Litb contains the word TABLE, wich is printed
      before the number.
    
 Special handling of the title will occur if TB is used inside
      DS/DE, it will not be affected by the format of
    DS.
- TC [slevel [spacing [tlevel [tab [h1 [h2 [h3 [h4 [h5]]]]]]]]]
- Table of contents. This macro is normally used at the last line of the
      document. It generates a table of contents with headings up to the level
      controlled by number register Cl. Note that Cl controls the
      saving of headings, it has nothing to do with TC. Headings with
      level less than or equal to slevel will get spacing number
      of lines before them. Headings with level less than or equal to
      tlevel will have their page numbers right justified with dots or
      spaces separating the text and the page number. Spaces is used if
      tab is greater than zero, otherwise dots. Other headings will have
      the page number directly at the end of the heading text (ragged
      right).
    The rest of the arguments will be printed, centered, before
        the table of contents. The user-defined macros TX and TY are used if
        TC is called with at most four arguments. TX is called
        before the printing of CONTENTS, and TY is called instead
        of printing CONTENTS. Equivalent macros can be defined for list of figures, tables,
        equations and excibits by defining TXxx or TYxx, where
        xx is Fg, TB, EC or EX. String Ci can be set to control the indentations for
        each heading-level. It must be scaled, like
        .ds Ci .25i .5i .75i 1i 1i.
        The indentation is normally controlled by the maxlength of headings in
        each level. All texts can be redefined, new stringvariables Lifg,
        Litb, Liex, Liec and Licon contain
        "Figure", "TABLE", "Exhibit",
        "Equation" and "CONTENTS". These can be redefined to
        other languages. 
- TE
- Table end. See TS.
- TH [N]
- Table header. See TS. TH ends the header of the table. This
      header will be printed again if a page-break occurs. Argument N
      isn't implemented yet.
- TL [charging-case number(s) [filing-case number(s)]]
- Begin title of memorandum. All text up to the next AU is included
      in the title. Charging-case number and filing-case are saved
      for use in the front page processing.
- TM [num1 [num2 [...]]]
- Technical memorandumnumbers used in .MT. Unlimited number of
      arguments may be given.
- TP
- Top of page user-defined macro. This macro is called instead of the normal
      page header. It is possible to get complete control over the header. Note
      that header and footer is printed in a separate environment. Linelength is
      preserved though.
- TS [H]
- Table start. This is the start of a table specification to tbl. See
      separate manual for tbl. TS ends with TE. Argument
      H tells mm that the table has a header. See TH.
- TX
- Userdefined table of contents exit. This macro is called just before
      TC prints the word CONTENTS. See TC.
- TY
- Userdefined table of contents exit (no "CONTENTS"). This macro
      is called instead of printing CONTENTS. See TC.
- VERBON [flag [pointsize [font]]]
- Begin verbatim output using courier font. Usually for printing programs.
      All character has equal width. The pointsize can be changed with the
      second argument. By specifying the font-argument it is possible to use
      another font instead of courier. flag controls several special
      features. It contains the sum of all wanted features.
    
 ValueDescription 1 Disable the escape-character (\). This is normally turned on
        during verbose output. 2 Add an empty line before the verbose text. 4 Add an empty line after the verbose text. 8 Print the verbose text with numbered lines. This adds four
        digitsized spaces in the beginning of each line. Finer control is
        available with the string-variable Verbnm. It contains all
        arguments to the troff-command .nm, normally '1'. 16 Indent the verbose text with five 'n':s. This is controlled by
        the number-variable Verbin (in units).
      
 
 
- VERBOFF
- End verbatim output.
- VL text-indent [mark-indent [1]]
- Variable-item list has no fixed mark, it assumes that every LI have
      a mark instead. Text-indent sets the indent to the text, and
      mark-indent the distance from the current indent to the mark. A
      third argument will prohibit printing of a blank line before each
    item.
- VM [-T] [top [bottom]]
- Vertical margin. Adds extra vertical top and margin space. Option
      -T set the total space instead. No argument resets the margin to
      zero or the default (7v 5v) if -T was used. It is higly
      recommended that macro TP and/or EOP are defined if using
      -T and setting top and/or bottom margin to less than the
    default.
- WA [writer-name [title]]
- Begins specification of the writer and writer's address. Several names can
      be specified with empty WA/WE-pairs, but only one
    address.
- WE
- Ends the address-specification after .WA.
- WC [format]
- Footnote and display width control.
    
 NSet default mode, -WF, -FF, -WD and
        FB. WF Wide footnotes, wide also in two-column mode. -WF Normal footnote width, follow column mode. FF All footnotes gets the same width as the first footnote
        encountered. -FF Normal footnotes, width follows WF and -WF.
      WD Wide displays, wide also in two-column mode. -WD Normal display width, follow column mode. FB Floating displays generates a line break when printed on the
        current page. -FB Floating displays does not generate line break.
