DESCRIPTION

13       This  package  of  nroff  and troff macro definitions provides a canned
14       formatting facility for technical papers in various formats.  When pro‐
15       ducing 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through col(1).
16
17       The  macro  requests  are defined below.  Many nroff and troff requests
18       are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however these requests may
19       be used with impunity after the first .PP:

21       Output of the eqn, neqn, refer, and tbl(1) preprocessors for equations
