      NAME
           sroff - format text

      SYNTAX
           sroff [ options ] [ files ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Sroff formats text contained in files (standard input by
           default) for printing on typewriter-like devices and line
           printers.

           An argument consisting of a minus (-) is taken to be a file
           name corresponding to the standard input.  The options,
           which may appear in any order, but must appear before the
           files, are:

           -olist  Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
                   list of numbers and ranges, separated by commas.  A
                   range N-M means pages N through M; an initial -N
                   means from the beginning to page N; and a final N-
                   means from N to the end.
           -sN     Stop every N pages.  Sroff will halt after every N
                   pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading or
                   changing, and will resume upon receipt of a line-
                   feed or new-line.
           -mname  Prepend to the input files the macro file
                   /usr/lib/macros/sroff.mname.  See the sroff/mm user
                   guide in the Documenter's Workbench Macro Package
                   Reference.
           -xfile  Write any index information onto file.

      BUGS
           %# is the name of a register that contains the number of
           lines used on a page in single-column mode, or the number of
           lines in a diversion.  %# should work in multi-column mode,
           but what should it count?
