NAME
me - macros for formatting papers

SYNOPSIS
nroff -me [ options ] file ...
troff -me [ options ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
This package of nroff(1) and troff(1) macro definitions provides a
canned formatting facility for technical papers in various formats.
When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output
through col(1).

The macro requests are defined below. Many nroff(1) and troff(1)
requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package; however,
these requests may be used with impunity after the first .pp:

.bp begin new page
.br break output line here
.sp n insert n spacing lines
.ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
.na no alignment of right margin
.ce n center next n lines
.ul n underline next n lines
.sz +n add n to point size

Output of the eqn(1), neqn, refer(1)* and tbl(1) preprocessors for
equations and tables is acceptable as input.
