Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If .I text is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .BR . I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .BR . SM followed by .BR . B to make small bold letters. .PP A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph. Default units for indents .I i are ens. .PP Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros. .PP These strings are predefined by .BR \-man : .IP \e*R .if t `\*R', `(Reg)' in .if t .I nroff. .if n `(Reg)', trademark symbol in .if n .I troff. .IP \e*S Change to default type size. .SH REQUESTS .ad l .ta \w'.TH n c d x s 'u +\w'Cause 'u +\w'Argument\ 'u .di xx \ka .br .di .in \nau .ti 0 Request Cause If no Explanation .ti 0 Break Argument .ti 0 \&.B \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.* Text .I t is bold. .ti 0 \&.BI \fIt\fR no \fIt\fR=n.t.l.

Text .I t is small. .ti 0 \&.TH \fIn c d x s\fR yes - Begin page named .I n of chapter .IR c; .I d is date of last change; .I x is extra commentary, e.g. `local', for page foot; .I s is a section description. Set prevailing indent and tabs to .5i. .ti 0 \&.TP \fIi\fR yes \fIi\fR=p.i. Set prevailing indent to .I i. Begin indented paragraph with hanging tag given by next text line. If tag doesn't fit, place it on separate line. .PP .ti 0 * n.t.l. = next text line; p.i. = prevailing indent .SH SEE ALSO nroff(1), troff(1), man(1) .SH NOTES Relative indents don't nest.
