NAME
       orig_me - macros for formatting papers

SYNOPSIS
       nroff -orig_me [ options ] file ...
       troff -orig_me [ options ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       This  package  of  nroff	 and troff macro definitions provides a canned
       formatting facility for technical papers in various formats.  When pro‐
       ducing 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through col(1).

       The  macro  requests  are defined below.	 Many nroff and troff 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
	      .sz +n  add n to point size

       Output  of the eqn, neqn, refer, and tbl(1) preprocessors for equations
       and tables is acceptable as input.
