+.SH Description
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I trace
+is a macro package for the
+.MR groff @MAN7EXT@
+document formatting system,
+designed as an aid for debugging documents written in its language.
+.
+It issues a message to the standard error stream upon entry to and exit
+from each macro call.
+.
+This can ease the process of isolating errors in macro definitions.
+.
+.
+.P
+Activate the package by specifying the command-line option
+.RB \[lq] \-m\~trace \[rq]
+to the formatter program
+(often
+.MR groff @MAN1EXT@ ).
+.
+You can achieve finer control by including the macro file within the
+document;
+invoke the
+.B mso
+request,
+as in
+.RB \[lq] .mso\~trace.tmac \[rq].
+.
+Only macros that are defined after this invocation are traced.
+.
+If the
+.B trace\-full
+register is set to a true value,
+as with the command-line option
+.RB \[lq] \-r\~trace\-full=1 \[rq],
+register and string assignments,
+along with some other requests,
+are traced also.
+.
+If another macro package should be traced as well,
+specify it after
+.RB \[lq] \-m\~trace \[rq]
+on the command line.
+.
+.
+.P
+The macro file
+.I trace.tmac
+is unusual because it does not contain any macros to be called by a
+user.
+.
+Instead,
+.IR groff 's
+macro definition and alteration facilities are wrapped such that they
+display diagnostic messages.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS Limitations
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Because
+.I trace.tmac
+wraps the
+.B de
+request
+(and its cousins),
+macro arguments are expanded one level more.
+.
+This causes problems if an argument uses four or more backslashes to
+delay interpretation of an escape sequence.
+.
+For example,
+the macro call
+.
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.foo \[rs]\[rs]\[rs]\[rs]n[bar]
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+normally passes \[lq]\[rs]\[rs]n[bar]\[rq] to macro \[lq]foo\[rq],
+but with
+.B de
+redefined,
+it passes \[lq]\[rs]n[bar]\[rq] instead.
+.
+.
+.P
+The solution to this problem is to use
+.IR groff 's
+.B \[rs]E
+escape sequence,
+an escape character that is not interpreted in copy mode.
+.
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.foo \[rs]En[bar]
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH Examples
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+We will illustrate
+.I trace.tmac
+using the shell's \[lq]here document\[rq] feature to supply
+.I groff
+with a document
+on the standard input stream.
+.
+Since we are interested only in diagnostic messages appearing on the
+standard error stream,
+we discard the formatted output by redirecting the standard output
+stream to
+.IR /dev/null .
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "Observing nested macro calls"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Macro calls can be nested,
+even with themselves.
+.
+Tracing recurses along with them;
+this feature can help to detangle complex call stacks.

+.SS "Tracing with the mso request"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Now let us activate tracing within the document,
+not with a command-line option.
+.
+We might do this when using a macro package like
+.I ms
+or
+.IR mom ,
+where we may not want to be distracted by traces of macros we didn't
+write.
