.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the GNU version of the \-me macros,
which is part of the groff document formatting system.
This version can be used with both GNU troff and Unix troff.
This package of
.I troff
macro definitions provides a canned formatting
facility for technical papers in various formats.
.PP
The macro requests are defined below.
Many
.I troff
requests are unsafe in conjunction with
this package, however, these requests may be used with
impunity after the first .pp:
.TS
