+
+<p>Macro definitions can be collected into <em class="dfn">macro files</em>, <code class="code">roff</code>
+input files designed to produce no output themselves but instead ease
+the preparation of other <code class="code">roff</code> documents. There is no syntactical
+difference between a macro file and any other <code class="code">roff</code> document; only
+its purpose distinguishes it. When a macro file is installed at a
+standard location and suitable for use by a general audience, it is
+often termed a <em class="dfn">macro package</em>.<a class="footnote" id="DOCF29" href="groff.html_fot.html#FOOT29"><sup>29</sup></a> Macro packages can be
+loaded by supplying the <samp class="option">-m</samp> option to GNU <code class="command">troff</code> or a
+<code class="code">groff</code> front end. Alternatively, a document requiring a macro
+package can load it with the <code class="code">mso</code> (&ldquo;macro source&rdquo;) request.
