+NAME
+ mn - text formatting macros for the news documentation
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ nroff -mn [ options ] file ...
+ troff -mn [ options ] file ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ This package of nroff(1) and troff(1) macro definitions provides a for-
+ matting facility which may be used to run off the formatted news docu-
+ ments. When reverse line motions are needed, filter the output through
+ col(1).
+
+ All -mn macros, diversions, string registers, and number registers are
+ defined below. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in conjunction
+ with this package. However, the requests below may be used with
+ impunity:
+
+ .bp begin new page
+ .br break output line
+ .sp n insert n spacing lines
+ .ce n center next n lines
+ .ls n line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space
+ .na no alignment of right margin
+
+ Font and point size changes with \f and \s are also allowed; for exam-
+ ple, ``\f2word\fR'' will italicize word. Output of the tbl(1), eqn(1),
+ and refer(1) preprocessors for equations, tables, and references is
+ acceptable as input.
+
+FILES
+ /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.n
+
+SEE ALSO
+ eqn(1), refer(1), tbl(1), troff(1)
+
+WARNINGS
+ If you do not set the string register ``.f'' to the file name, you will
+ only be told the line number on which any errors occur. If you define
+ this string to be the file name, you will get the file name, too. This
+ is useful when dealing with a document split up into many files.
+
+ This package is not now intended for uses other than with the news doc-
+ umentation.
+
+ Bug reports are always welcome; please send them to the author.
+ (Include a sample of the input; this helps track down the bug.)

+
+REQUESTS
+ In the Note column, b means the request causes a break, and i means the
+ macro, number register, string register, or diversion is internal and
+ should not be used for anything. In the What It Is column, div means
+ diversion, mac means macro, num means number register, and str means
+ string register. In the Initial Value column, a hyphen means no ini-
+ tial value is used, anything else is the initial value, and if two val-
+ ues are given, the first is for nroff and the second for troff.
