      NAME
	   me -	macros for formatting papers

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

      DESCRIPTION
	   This	package	of nroff and troff 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 and troff
	   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, neqn, and	tbl(1) preprocessors for
	   equations and tables	is acceptable as input.

      FILES
	   /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.e
	   /usr/lib/me/*
