Subject: [9fans] macro files with troff

I would like to begin using troff to prepare some
document files. So far, I have looked over
/sys/doc/troff.ps which includes the manual and
tutorial. It appears the easiest way to start is to
invoke troff with a standard macro/package like
-ms or -mm. The definitions for these I presume are in
/sys/lib/tmac.

When I begin writing the document with acme, how do I
identify all the 'requests' set in the packages? For example, Would I need
to look in /sys/lib/tmac/tmac.s for info on the -ms
package or is there a table set up for them somewhere?
Any other hints on how to begin using this would be
appreciated.
