Nroff mode is a mode like Text mode but modified to handle nroff commands
present in the text. Invoke M-x nroff-mode to enter this mode. It
differs from Text mode in only a few ways. All nroff command lines are
considered paragraph separators, so that filling will never garble the
nroff commands. Pages are separated by `.bp' commands. Comments
start with backslash-doublequote. Also, three special commands are
provided that are not in Text mode:
| M-n |
Move to the beginning of the next line that isn't an nroff command
( |
| M-p | Like M-n but move up (backward-text-line).
|
| M-? | Prints in the echo area the number of text lines (lines that are not
nroff commands) in the region (count-text-lines).
|
The other feature of Nroff mode is that you can turn on Electric Nroff
mode. This is a minor mode that you can turn on or off with M-x electric-nroff-mode (see Minor Modes). When the mode is on, each
time you use RET to end a line that contains an nroff command that
opens a kind of grouping, the matching nroff command to close that
grouping is automatically inserted on the following line. For example,
if you are at the beginning of a line and type . ( b RET,
this inserts the matching command `.)b' on a new line following
point.
If you use Outline minor mode with Nroff mode (see Outline Mode),
heading lines are lines of the form `.H' followed by a number (the
header level).
Entering Nroff mode runs the hook text-mode-hook, followed by
the hook nroff-mode-hook (see Hooks).
