24;;; Commentary:
25
26;; This package is a major mode for editing nroff source code. It knows
27;; about various nroff constructs, ms, mm, and me macros, and will fill
28;; and indent paragraphs properly in their presence. It also includes
29;; a command to count text lines (excluding nroff constructs), a command
30;; to center a line, and movement commands that know how to skip macros.
