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.
