.TH TEMPLATE 1 .SH NAME template, blueprint \- a blueprint for making manual pages .SH SYNOPSIS .B template .RB [ \-az ] .RI [ arguments " ...]" .SH DESCRIPTION .de SP .if t .sp 0.4 .if n .sp .. .B Template shows what a manual page should look like. Options for instance: .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-a Use boldface for characters that have to be typed as is. .TP .B \-z Italics for variable .IR arguments . .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP 15n .B MANPATH The path to knowledge. .SH FILES .TP 25n .B /usr/man/template.1 This file. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR man (7). .SH DIAGNOSTICS man: No manual on template. .SH NOTES Use at your own risk. .SH BUGS A lot. The .BR whatis (5) database is usually generated automatically on most systems. This fails if the "NAME" section has more n/troff fluff than just an "\e" before the '\-', or is more than one line. Apply the KISS principle, try to use a minimum of smart macros, match your .RS and .RE's, etc. .SH AUTHOR Kees J. Bot (kjb@cs.vu.nl)
