;;; Commentary:

;; This package is a major mode for editing nroff source code.  It knows
;; about various nroff constructs, ms, mm, and me macros, and will fill
;; and indent paragraphs properly in their presence.  It also includes
;; a command to count text lines (excluding nroff constructs), a command
;; to center a line, and movement commands that know how to skip macros.

;; Paragraph filling and line-counting currently don't respect comments,
;; as they should.
