+.Ss \&%D
+Publication date of an
+.Sx \&Rs
+block. This should follow the reduced or canonical form syntax
+described in
+.Sx Dates .
+.Ss \&%I
+Publisher or issuer name of an
+.Sx \&Rs
+block.
+.Ss \&%J
+Journal name of an
+.Sx \&Rs

+block.
+.Ss \&%P
+Book or journal page number of an
+.Sx \&Rs
+block.
+.Ss \&%Q
+Institutional author (school, government, etc.) of an
+.Sx \&Rs
+block. Multiple institutional authors should each be accorded their own
+.Sx \&%Q
+line.
+.Ss \&%R
+Technical report name of an
+.Sx \&Rs

+.Ss \&%T
+Article title of an
+.Sx \&Rs

+.Pp
+Examples:

+.D1 \&.Ad 0x00000000
+.Ss \&An
+Author name.
+This macro may alternatively accepts the following arguments, although
+these may not be specified along with a parameter:
+.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent
+.It Fl split
+Renders a line break before each author listing.
+.It Fl nosplit
+The opposite of
+.Fl split .
+.El
+.Pp
+In the AUTHORS section, the default is not to split the first author
+listing, but all subsequent author listings, whether or not they're
+interspersed by other macros or text, are split.
+Thus, specifying
+.Fl split
+will cause the first listing also to be split.
+If not in the AUTHORS section, the default is not to split.
+.Pp
+Examples:
+.D1 \&.An -nosplit
+.D1 \&.An J. D. Ullman .
+.Pp
+.Em Remarks :
+the effects of
+.Fl split
+or
+.Fl nosplit
+are re-set when entering the AUTHORS section, so if one specifies
+.Sx \&An Fl nosplit
+in the general document body, it must be re-specified in the AUTHORS
+section.

+Begins a display block.
+A display is collection of macros or text which may be collectively

+.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent
+.It Fl ragged
+Only left-justify the block.

+Do not justify the block at all.
+.It Fl filled
+Left- and right-justify the block.

+The most popular is the imaginary macro
+.Ar \&Ds ,
+which resolves to
+.Ar 6n .
+.It
+As a scaling unit following the syntax described in
+.Sx Scaling Widths .
+.It
+As the calculated string length of the opaque string.
+.El

+.Ss \&Bl
+Begins a list composed of one or more list entries.
+A list is associated with a type, which is a required argument.
+Other arguments are
+.Fl width ,
+defined per-type as accepting a literal or
+.Sx Scaling Widths
+value;
+.Fl offset ,
+also accepting a literal or
+.Sx Scaling Widths
+value setting the list's global offset; and
+.Fl compact ,
+suppressing the default vertical space printed before each list entry.
+A list entry is specified by the
+.Sx \&It
+macro, which consists of a head and optional body (depending on the list
+type).
+A list must specify one of the following list types:
+.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent
+.It Fl bullet
+A list offset by a bullet.
+The head of list entries must be empty.
+List entry bodies are positioned after the bullet.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument varies the width of list bodies' left-margins.
+.It Fl column
+A columnated list.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument has no effect.
+The number of columns is specified as parameters to the
+.Sx \&Bl
+macro.
+These dictate the width of columns either as
+.Sx Scaling Widths
+or literal text.
+List entry bodies must be left empty.
+Column bodies have the following syntax:
+.Pp
+.D1 .It col1 <TAB> ... coln
+.D1 .It col1 \&Ta ... coln
+.D1 .It col1 <TAB> col2 \&Ta coln
+.Pp
+where columns may be separated by tabs, the literal string
+.Qq \&Ta ,
+or a mixture of both.
+These are equivalent except that quoted sections propogate over tabs,
+for example,
+.Pp
+.D1 .It \(dqcol1 ; <TAB> col2 ;\(dq ;
+.Pp
+will preserve the semicolon whitespace except for the last.
+.It Fl dash
+A list offset by a dash (hyphen).
+The head of list entries must be empty.
+List entry bodies are positioned past the dash.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument varies the width of list bodies' left-margins.
+.It Fl diag
+Like
+.Fl inset ,
+but with additional formatting to the head.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument varies the width of list bodies' left-margins.
+.It Fl enum
+An enumerated list offset by the enumeration from 1.
+The head of list entries must be empty.
+List entry bodies are positioned after the enumeration.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument varies the width of list bodies' left-margins.
+.It Fl hang
+Like
+.Fl tag ,
+but instead of list bodies positioned after the head, they trail the
+head text.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument varies the width of list bodies' left-margins.
+.It Fl hyphen
+Synonym for
+.Fl dash .
+.It Fl inset
+List bodies follow the list head.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument is ignored.
+.It Fl item
+This produces blocks of text.
+The head of list entries must be empty.
+The
+.Fl width
+argument is ignored.
+.It Fl ohang
+List bodies are positioned on the line following the head.
