       These  macros  were  used  in the past to lay out pages of
       this manual.  A skeleton page may be  found  in  the  file
       /usr/share/misc/man.template.  The new macros are in

       Any  text argument _t may be zero to six words.  Quotes may
       be used to include blanks in a `word'.  If _t_e_x_t is  empty,
       special  treatment  is applied to the next input line with
       text to be printed.  In this way ..I may be used to  itali-
       cize  a  whole  line, or ..SM may be followed by ..B to make
       small bold letters.

       A prevailing indent distance is remembered between succes-
       sive  indented  paragraphs,  and is reset to default value
       upon reaching a non-indented paragraph.  Default units for
       indents _i are ens.

       Type font and size are reset to default values before each
       paragraph, and after  processing  font  and  size  setting
       macros.

       These strings are predefined by --mmaann:

       \*R    `(Reg)', trademark symbol in _t_r_o_f_f_.

       \*S    Change to default type size.
