Printing will halt prior to +each page (including the first) to permit paper +loading and changing. Printing is restarted by +typing either a "newline" or "delete" character. + +.ti -3 +-h High-speed output. During output, strings of +space characters are replaced where possible with +tab characters to speed up output. Futhermore, if +the output is directed into a file or a pipe, +this mode effectively reduces the total number of +characters in the file or pipe; this is especially +important in multi-column output where the +temporary file(s) or pipe(s) would otherwise contain +a large number of space characters. + +.ti -3 +-q The prompt names for insertions are not printed +and the bell character is sent instead; in +addition, the insertion is not echoed. This mode +permits insertions during the actual output printing + +.ti -3 +-i Index mode. NROFF creates a file called "index" +containing every word output together with the +line and page number. The format is word, tab, +page, tab, line, newline, etc. Invoking this mode +slows down the execution of NROFF considerably. +.sp +.in -6 +Nroff is more completely described +in [1]. +A condensed Request Summary is included here. +.sp +.ti 0 +FILES /etc/suftab suffix hyphenation tables +.br +/tmp/rtm? temporary +.br +.sp +.ti 0 +SEE ALSO [1] NROFF User's Manual (available as MM-73-1271-2). +.sp +.ti 0 +DIAGNOSTICS none +.sp +.ti 0 +BUGS - +.in 0 +.bp +.cc % +%nf +%ce +REQUEST REFERENCE AND INDEX + +Request Initial If no Cause +Form____ Value_____ Argument________ Break_____ Explanation___________ + +I.
