		As in troff(1), a macro is called by placing a `.' (dot character) at the beginning of a line followed by the two character name for the macro.
		Macros whose argument lists are parsed for callable arguments are referred to as parsed and macros which may be called from an argument list are referred to as callable throughout this document and in the companion quick reference manual mdoc(7).
		Troff sees the hard space as if it were any other printable character and cannot split the string into blank or newline separated pieces as one would expect.

		The terminating command is executed during the definition of the macro, but not copied.
		The text in the macro is read and copied in copy mode.
		Macro arguments are tokenized into words; words can be quoted with double quotes (") to embed white space.

		A macro is nothing more than a series of troff requests, specified and named, that perform a special formatting task.
		The default is 7.2 ens in troff 5 ens in nroff.
		The default is.4v in troff and in nroff.

	Troff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With troff came nroff (they were actually almost the same program), which was for producing output for line printers and character terminals.
		Unfortunately, Ossanna's troff was written in PDP-11 assembly language and produced output specifically for the CAT phototypesetter.
		Use of troff and family was reduced somewhat in the 1990s, but it is still being used quite extensively.

	Manpage of GROFF_MDOC
		As in GNU troff(1), a macro is called by placing a `.' (dot character) at the beginning of a line followed by the two-character (or three-character) name for the macro.
		Macros whose argument lists are parsed for callable arguments are referred to as parsed and macros which may be called from an argument list are referred to as callable throughout this document.
		The symbolic emphasis macro is generally a boldface macro in either the symbolic sense or the traditional English usage.

	Typesetting with groff Macros \| Linux Journal
		Traditional troff was first written in the early 1970s by Joseph Ossana at Bell Labs, rewritten a few years later by Brian Kernighan and designed for the computers and typesetting equipment available at the time.
		Invoking a macro within a document follows the same syntax as using a raw request (the name of the macro follows on a line with a period in the first column).
		While the developers of troff and the standard macro packages have done their best to devise naming schemes that are as mnemonic as possible within this two-character constraint, the resulting interface is about as user-friendly as 80x86 assembly language (which at least uses three characters for most of its instruction set!).

	tc2html Notes
		For this to work well, all the important structure-related macros in a macro package must be redefined, so the redefinition files used for tc2html tend to be more extensive than those used for other postprocessors.
		If you use a macro package -mxx, you specify it on the command line, along with the general and HTML-specific troffcvt redefinitions for that macro package; these are in the action files tc.mxx and tc.mxx-html.
		Section-header macros are usually redefined to generate a NAME anchor for the table of contents, so don't surround a section header with anchor-generating macros.

	Ch 9 -- Formatting with Macro Packages
		Macros take advantage of one of the UNIX system's distinguishing characteristics: the capability to build complex processes from basic, primitive units.
		You can use your own macros with the macro packages by embedding the macros in your source document or sourcing them in.
		Using these macros correctly is an art, not a science as it once was.

	UNIX Text Formatting Using the -ms Macros
		One could use this macro, for instance, for direct quotations of prose that need to be offset because of length but do not need special formatting display like that in poetry.
		In troff, em and en have their traditional meanings-- one em of distance is equal to two ens.
		The -ms macros make up a package in the sense that they are designed to meet most formatting needs, and to make it unnecessary to learn a large amount of detail about the more complex nroff command language.
