       This  manual  page  describes  the  GNU version of the -me
       macros, which is part of  the  groff  document  formatting
       system.   This version can be used with both GNU troff and
       Unix troff.  This package of _t_r_o_f_f macro definitions  pro-
       vides a canned formatting facility for technical papers in
       various formats.

       The macro requests are defined below.  Many _t_r_o_f_f 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

       Output  of  the  _p_i_c_, _e_q_n_, _r_e_f_e_r_, and _t_b_l preprocessors is
       acceptable as input.
