Document Preparation, Version 3.51
AT&T UNIX PC Document Preparation Set- Version 3.51
1. Introduction
The Document Preparation Set has been significantly enhanced with this
release. The purpose of these notes is to highlight the changes and provide
assistance in using the software. Please refer to the manual pages provided
for a full description of each command and macro. The manual page and
section are indicated by the name of the command or file followed by the
section in parentheses, i.e. nroff(l), in the discussion below.
Nroff and its associated programs are a powerful and complex text
formatting system. We recommend that users obtain additional
documentation to assist in making full use of nroff. Suggested documents
are:
• AT&T Documenter's WorkbenchTM Software Release 2.0 manuals
which contain a thorough discussion of nroff (and troff), macros, and
preprocessors. Both of these manuals are recommended:
- UNIX System V Documenter' s Workbench Software Release 2.0
User's Guide (order using AT&T Select Code 310-004).
- UNIX System V Documenter' s Workbench Software Release 2.0
Technical Discussion and Reference Manual (order using AT&T
Select Code 310-005).
• Document Formatting and Typesetting on the UNIX System, by Narain
Gehani, Silicon Press, Summit N.J., 1986. This book contains a
thorough discussion of document formatting using nroff and troff.
2. What You Get With the Document Preparation Set

following macros:
