+
+<p>Use headings to create a sequential or hierarchical structure for your
+document. The <samp class="file">ms</samp> macros print headings in <strong class="strong">bold</strong> using
+the same font family and, by default, type size as the body text.
+Headings are available with and without automatic numbering. Text on
+input lines following the macro call becomes the heading&rsquo;s title. Call
+a paragraphing macro to end the heading text and start the section&rsquo;s
+content.

+</p>
+<p><samp class="file">ms</samp> produces a numbered heading the form <var class="var">a.b.c&hellip;</var>, to
+any depth desired, with the numbering of each depth increasing
+automatically and being reset to zero when a more significant level is
+increased. &ldquo;1&rdquo;&nbsp;is the most significant or coarsest division of
+the document. Only non-zero values are output. If <var class="var">depth</var> is
+omitted, it is taken to be &lsquo;<samp class="samp">1</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>If you specify <var class="var">depth</var> such that an ascending gap occurs relative to
+the previous <code class="code">NH</code> call&mdash;that is, you &ldquo;skip a depth&rdquo;, as by
+&lsquo;<samp class="samp">.NH 1</samp>&rsquo; and then &lsquo;<samp class="samp">.NH 3</samp>&rsquo;&mdash;<code class="code">groff</code> <samp class="file">ms</samp> emits a
+warning on the standard error stream.
+</p>
+<p>Alternatively, you can give <code class="code">NH</code> a first argument of&nbsp;<code class="code">S</code>,
+followed by integers to number the heading depths explicitly. Further
+automatic numbering, if used, resumes using the specified indices as
+their predecessors.
+This feature is a Berkeley extension.

+<p>After <code class="code">NH</code> is called, the assigned number is made available in the
+strings <code class="code">SN-DOT</code> (as it appears in a printed heading with default
+formatting, followed by a terminating period) and <code class="code">SN-NO-DOT</code> (with
+the terminating period omitted). These are GNU extensions.
+</p>
+<p>You can control the style used to print numbered headings by defining an
+appropriate alias for the string <code class="code">SN-STYLE</code>. By default,
+<code class="code">SN-STYLE</code> is aliased to <code class="code">SN-DOT</code>. If you prefer to omit the
+terminating period from numbers appearing in numbered headings, you may
+define the alias as follows.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">.als SN-STYLE SN-NO-DOT
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>Any such change in numbering style becomes effective from the next use
+of <code class="code">NH</code> following redefinition of the alias for <code class="code">SN-STYLE</code>.
+The formatted number of the current heading is available in the
+<code class="code">SN</code> string (a feature first documented by Berkeley), which
+facilitates its inclusion in, for example, table captions, equation
+labels, and <code class="code">XS</code>/<code class="code">XA</code>/<code class="code">XE</code> table of contents entries.

+<p>The optional <var class="var">depth</var> argument is a GNU extension indicating the

+all more deeply nested heading levels will remain in the 10-point text

+<p>The <code class="code">HORPHANS</code> register operates in conjunction with the <code class="code">NH</code>
+and <code class="code">SH</code> macros to inhibit the printing of isolated headings at the
+bottom of a page; it specifies the minimum number of lines of an
+immediately subsequent paragraph that must be kept on the same page as
+the heading. If insufficient space remains on the current page to
+accommodate the heading and this number of lines of paragraph text, a
+page break is forced before the heading is printed. Any display macro
+call or <code class="code">tbl</code>, <code class="code">pic</code>, or <code class="code">eqn</code> region between the heading
+and the subsequent paragraph suppresses this grouping. See <a class="xref" href="ms-keeps-and-displays.html">Keeps, boxed keeps, and displays</a> and <a class="ref" href="ms-Insertions.html">Tables, figures, equations, and references</a>.
