Name
groff_me - “me” macro package for formatting roff documents
Synopsis
groff -me [option ...] [file ...]
groff -m me [option ...] [file ...]
Description
The GNU implementation of the me macro package is part of the groff
document formatting system. The me package of macro definitions for
the roff language provides a convenient facility for preparing techni‐
cal papers in various formats. This version is based on the me dis‐
tributed with 4.4BSD and can be used with the GNU troff formatter as
well as those descended from AT&T troff.
Some formatter requests affect page layout unpredictably when used in
conjunction with this package; however, the following may be used with
impunity after the first call to a paragraphing macro like lp or pp.
Some arguments are optional; see groff(7) for details, particularly of
requests whose argument list is designated with an ellipsis. An aster‐
isk * marks groff extensions.

rr r remove register r rs resume spacing (end no-space
mode) rt v return to vertical position set by mk, or v

vertical space ta ... set tab stops tc c set tab repetition
glyph to c ti h set temporary indentation (next line only) to h
tl ... output three-part title tr ... translate characters
ul n underline next n output lines
Except on title pages (produced by calling tp), me suppresses the out‐
put of vertical space at the tops of pages (after the output of any
page header); the sp request will thus not work there. You can instead
call bl or enclose the desired spacing request in a diversion, for in‐
stance by calling (b and )b. me also intercepts the ll request; see
the “me Reference Manual” for details.
Name space
Objects in me follow a rigid naming convention. To avoid conflict, any
user-defined register, string, or macro names should be single numerals
or uppercase letters, or any longer sequence of letters and numerals
with at least one uppercase letter. (For portability between BSD and
groff me, limit names to two characters, and avoid the name [ (left
square bracket).) The names employed by any preprocessors in use
should also not be repurposed.

erence Manual” describes alternatives for modern documents.

Notes
Early roff macro packages often limited their names to a single letter,
which followed the formatter's m flag letter, resulting in mm, ms, mv,
mn, and so on. The “e” in “me” stands for “Eric P. Allman”, who wrote
the macro package and the original technical papers documenting it
while an undergraduate at the University of California.
