- This is a transliteration of the text formatting program on Kernighan
- & Plauger's SOFTWARE TOOLS, with some modifications to take advantage
- of the power of C. If the summary of dot commands below isn't enough
- for you, see the book.
-
- Most commands can accept arguments. If the argument is preceded by a
- plus or minus sign then the current value of the indicated attribute
- is changed by that amount. For example, the command .ls 2 sets the
- line spacing to 2, while the command .ls +2 increases the
- currently-set line spacing by 2 lines.

- A break stops the filling of the current line. Breaks are needed
- between paragraphs. Lines containing nothing but blanks always cause
- one blank line to be output. A line which starts with a tab or blank
- causes the temporary indent setting to be set to the number of
- beginning spaces on that line. Note that this feature overrides any
- .ti setting in effect.
