+NAME nroff -- format text

+.nf
+SYNOPSIS nroff_____ [+_N] [-s__] [-h__] [-q__] [-i__] files
+.fi
+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION nroff_____
+formats text according to control lines embedded
+in the text files.
+The non-file option arguments are interpreted as follows:
+
+.in +6
+.ti -3
++N Output will commence at the first page whose page
+number is N (independent of whether or not the
+page number is being printed).
+
+.ti -3
+-s Stop between pages. 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.
