groff: ms Insertions
4.3.5.8 Tables, figures, equations, and references
..................................................
The 'ms' macros support the standard 'groff' preprocessors: 'tbl',
'pic', 'eqn', and 'refer'. You mark text meant for preprocessors by
enclosing it in pairs of tags as follows.
-- Macro: .TS [H]
-- Macro: .TE
Denotes a table, to be processed by the 'tbl' preprocessor. The
optional argument 'H' to 'TS' instructs 'groff' to create a running
header with the information up to the 'TH' macro. 'groff' prints
the header at the beginning of the table; if the table runs onto
another page, 'groff' prints the header on the next page as well.
-- Macro: .PS
-- Macro: .PE
Denotes a graphic, to be processed by the 'pic' preprocessor. You
can create a 'pic' file by hand, using the AT&T 'pic' manual
available on the Web as a reference, or by using a graphics program
such as 'xfig'.
-- Macro: .EQ [align]
-- Macro: .EN
Denotes an equation, to be processed by the 'eqn' preprocessor.
The optional ALIGN argument can be 'C', 'L', or 'I' to center (the
default), left-justify, or indent the equation.
-- Macro: .[
-- Macro: .]
Denotes a reference, to be processed by the 'refer' preprocessor.
The GNU 'refer(1)' man page provides a comprehensive reference to
the preprocessor and the format of the bibliographic database.
