MAN(S) MAN(S)
The final example is a command line that processes an unusual manual
page, one using pic and grap. If the manual pages created with man are
intended for an on-line facility, components requiring troff, such as grap
or pic, should be avoided since the average installation of terminals will
not be able to process typeset documents.
grap files I pic I tbl I troff -Taps -man I typesetter
grap precedes pic because it is a preprocessor to pic; the reverse order
will not format correctly. Files contains one or more tables, requiring
tbl, but col is no longer necessary because typeset documents do not use
reverse line feeds with which to make tables. The -T option for specifying
the output device (Terminal type) takes the argument aps here,
readying the document for processing on the APS-5 phototypesetter.
CAVEATS
Special macros, strings, and number registers exist, internal to man, in
addition to those mentioned above. Except for names predefined by
nroff and number registers d, m, and y, all such internal names are of the
form XA, where X is one of ), ], and }, and A stands for any alphanumeric
character. User defined macros should avoid these naming conventions.
FILES
The macro package itself uses only the roman font (so that one can
replace, for example, the bold font by the constant-width font (CW). Of
course, if the input text of an entry contains requests for other fonts (for
example, .I, .RB, \fl), the corresponding fonts must be mounted.

BUGS
If the argument to .TH contains any blanks and is not enclosed by double
quotes (""), there will be strange irregular dots on the output.
