me(5) File Formats Manual me(5) 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 l lw(5.6i). Use line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space. T} 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. l lw(0.8i) lw(0.9i) lw(3.5i). _ Request T{ Initial Value T} T{ Cause Break T} Explanation _ Define paper section. m defines the part of the paper, and can be C (chapter), A (appendix), P (preliminary information, for example, an abstract, table of contents, and so on), B (bibliography), RC (chapters renumbered from page one each chapter), or RA (appendix renumbered from page one). T} Begin chapter (or appendix, etc., as set by T is the chapter title. T} Space after equation pro- duced by neqn. T} Precede equation; break out and add space. Equation number is y. The optional argument x may be I to indent equation (de- fault), L to left-adjust the equation, or C to center the equation. T} me(5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - yes End(heading) table. - yes End(heading) Begin table; if x is H, table has repeated heading. T} Set up for ACM style output. A is the Author's name(s), N is the total number of pages. Must be given before the first initialization. T} Print x in boldface; if there is no argument, switch to boldface. T} Augment the base indent by n. This indent is used to set the indent on regular text (like paragraphs). T} Print x in bold italics (nofill only). T} Print x in a box (nofill only). T} Set even footer to x y z. T} Set even header to x y z. T} Suppress headers and footers on next page. T} Italicize x; if x missing, italic text follows. T} Start indented paragraph, with hanging tag x. Indentation is y ens (default 5). T} Read in a file of local macros of the form T} Set odd footer to x y z. T} Set odd header to x y z. T} Begin paragraph. First line in- dented. T} Read in a file of special characters and diacritical marks. Must be given before initialization. T} Section head follows, font au- tomatically bold. n is level of section, x is title of section. T} Leave the next page blank. Only one page is remembered ahead. T} Aug- ment the point size by n points. T} Produce the paper in thesis for- mat. Must be given before initialization.
