+
+<p>GNU <code class="code">troff</code> provides low-level operations for formatting a
+document. Many routine operations are undertaken in nearly all
+documents that require a series of such primitive operations to be
+performed. These common tasks are grouped into <i class="slanted">macros</i>, which
+are then collected into a <i class="slanted">macro package</i>.
+</p>
+<p>Macro packages come in two varieties: &ldquo;major&rdquo; or &ldquo;full-service&rdquo;
+ones that manage page layout, and &ldquo;minor&rdquo; or &ldquo;auxiliary&rdquo; ones that
+do not, instead fulfilling narrow, specific tasks. Find a list in the
+<cite class="cite">groff_tmac<span class="r">(5)</span></cite> man page. Type &lsquo;<samp class="samp">man groff_tmac</samp>&rsquo; at the
+command line to view it.
+</p>
+<p>We survey several capabilities of full-service macro package below.
+Each package employs its own macros to exercise them. For details,
+consult its man page or, for <samp class="file">ms</samp>, see <a class="ref" href="ms.html"><samp class="file">ms</samp></a>.
