-groff_ms \- groff ms macros
-.SH SYNOPSIS

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page describes the GNU version of the ms macros,
-which is part of the groff document formatting system.
-The groff ms macros are intended to be compatible with the
-documented behaviour of the 4.3
-.SM BSD
-Unix ms macros subject to the following limitations:
-.IP \(bu
-the internals of groff ms are not similar to the internals of Unix ms
-and so documents that depend upon implementation details of Unix ms
-may well not work with groff ms;
-.IP \(bu
-there is no support for typewriter-like devices;
-.IP \(bu
-Berkeley localisms, in particular the
-.B TM
-and
-.B CT
-macros, are not implemented;
-.IP \(bu
-groff ms
-does not provide cut marks;
-.IP \(bu
-multiple line spacing is not allowed
-(use a larger vertical spacing instead);
-.IP \(bu
-groff ms does not work in compatibility mode (eg with the
-.B \-C
-option);
-.IP \(bu
-the error-handling policy of groff ms
-is to detect and report errors,
-rather than silently to ignore them.
-.LP
-The groff ms macros make use of many features of GNU troff
-and therefore cannot be used with any other troff.
-.LP
-Bell Labs localisms are not implemented in either the
-.SM BSD
-ms macros or in the groff ms macros.
-.LP
-Some Unix ms documentation says that the
-.B CW
-and
-.B GW
-number registers can be used to control the column width and
-gutter width respectively.
-This is not the case.
-These number registers are not used in groff ms.
-.LP
-Macros that cause a reset set the indent.
-Macros that change the indent do not increment or decrement
-the indent, but rather set it absolutely.
-This can cause problems for documents that define
-additional macros of their own.
-The solution is to use not the
-.B in
-request but instead the
-.B RS
-and
-.B RE
-macros.
-.LP
-The number register
-.B GS
-is set to 1 by the groff ms macros,
-but is not used by the Unix ms macros.
-It is intended that documents that need to determine whether
-they are being formatted with Unix ms or groff ms make use of this
-number register.
-.LP
-Footnotes are implemented so that they can safely be used within
-keeps and displays.
-Automatically numbered footnotes within floating keeps are
-not recommended.
-It is safe to have another
-.B \e**
-between a
-.B \e**
-and the corresponding
-.BR .FS ;
-it is required only that each
-.B .FS
-occur after the corresponding
-.B \e**
-and that the occurrences of
-.B .FS
-are in the same order as the corresponding occurrences of
-.BR \e** .
-.LP
-The strings
-.B \e*{
-and
-.B \e*}
-can be used to begin and end a superscript.
-.LP
-Some Unix V10 ms features are implemented.
-The
-.BR B ,
-.BR I
-and
-.B BI
-macros can have an optional third argument which will be printed
-in the current font before the first argument.
-There is a macro
-.B CW
-like
-.B B
-that changes to a constant-width font.
-.LP
-The following strings can be redefined to adapt the groff ms macros
-to languages other than English:

-.LP
-The font family is reset from the string
-.BR FAM ;
-at initialization if this string is undefined it is set to the current
-font family.
-The point size, vertical spacing, and inter-paragraph spacing for footnotes
-are taken from the number registers
-.BR FPS ,
-.BR FVS ,
-and
-.BR FPD ;
-at initialization these are set to
-.BR \en(PS-2 ,
-.BR \en[FPS]+2 ,
-and
-.B \en(PD/2
-respectively; however, if any of these registers has been defined
-before initialization, it will not be set.
-The hyphenation flags (as set by the
-.B .hy
-request) are set from the
-.B HY
-register;
-if this has not been defined at initialization,
-it will be set to 14.
-.LP
-Right-aligned displays are available with
-.B ".DS R"
-and
-.BR .RD .
-.LP
-The following conventions are used for names of macros, strings and
-number registers.
-External names available to documents that use the groff ms
-macros contain only uppercase letters and digits.
-Internally the macros are divided into modules.
-Names used only within one module are of the form
-.IB module * name\fR.
-Names used outside the module in which they are defined are of the form
-.IB module @ name\fR.
-Names associated with a particular environment are of the form
-.IB environment : name;
-these are used only within the
-.B par
-module,
-and
-.I name
-does not have a module prefix.
-Constructed names used to implement arrays are of the form
-.IB array ! index\fR.
-Thus the groff ms macros reserve the following names:
-.IP \(bu
-names containing
-.BR * ;
-.IP \(bu
-names containing
-.BR @ ;
-.IP \(bu
-names containing
-.BR : ;
-.IP \(bu
-names containing only uppercase letters and digits.
