Hiya

Don't suppose someone has a tutorial on how to use nroff -man macros
to write & format manpages? :-)

I'm currently trying to tidy up the ipfw manpages so that they at
least appear like other manpages, and may even be easier to read. (No
offense to Ugen, but his English isn't the best). The problem is, I
don't have a list of valid macros, and what they do...

A tutorial doc would be perfect (and probably much needed). Anyone?

Thanks

Gary
