+Macros marked as
+.Qq compat
+are included for compatibility with the significant corpus of existing
+manuals that mix dialects of roff.
+These macros should not be used for portable
+.Nm
+manuals.
+.Ss Block Macros
+Block macros comprise a head and body.
+As with in-line macros, the head is scoped to the current line and, in
+one circumstance, the next line (the next-line stipulations as in
+.Sx Line Macros
+apply here as well).
+.Pp
+The syntax is as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+\&.YO \(lBhead...\(rB
+\(lBhead...\(rB
+\(lBbody...\(rB
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The closure of body scope may be to the section, where a macro is closed
+by
+.Sx \&SH ;
+sub-section, closed by a section or
+.Sx \&SS ;
+part, closed by a section, sub-section, or
+.Sx \&RE ;
+or paragraph, closed by a section, sub-section, part,
+.Sx \&HP ,
+.Sx \&IP ,
+.Sx \&LP ,
+.Sx \&P ,
+.Sx \&PP ,
+or
+.Sx \&TP .
+No closure refers to an explicit block closing macro.
+.Pp
+As a rule, block macros may not be nested; thus, calling a block macro
+while another block macro scope is open, and the open scope is not
+implicitly closed, is syntactically incorrect.
