NAME
       me - Macros for formatting papers

SYNOPSIS
       nroff -me  [options] file...

DESCRIPTION
       This  package of nroff macro definitions provides a formatting facility
       for technical papers in various	formats.   When	 producing  two-column
       output on a terminal, filter the output through col.

       Many  nroff  requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package; how‐
       ever, the following requests can be used with impunity after the first

       .bp	Begin a new page.
       .br	Break the output line here.
       .ce n	Center the next n lines.
       .ls n	Use line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space.
       .na	Do not justify (align) the right margin.
       .sp n	Insert n spacing lines.
       .sz +n	Add n to the point size.
       .ul n	Underline the next n lines.

       Output of the neqn and tbl preprocessors for equations  and  tables  is
       acceptable as input.

REQUESTS
       In  the following list, initialization refers to the first macro.  This
       list is incomplete.
