 4.3.5.8 Tables, figures, equations, and references
 ..................................................
 
 The 'ms' macros support the standard 'groff' preprocessors: 'tbl',
 'pic', 'eqn', and 'refer'.  You mark text meant for preprocessors by
 enclosing it in pairs of tags as follows.
 
  -- Macro: .TS ['H']
  -- Macro: .TE
      Denotes a table, to be processed by the 'tbl' preprocessor.  The
      optional argument 'H' to 'TS' instructs 'groff' to create a running
      header with the information up to the 'TH' macro.  'groff' prints
      the header at the beginning of the table; if the table runs onto
      another page, 'groff' prints the header on the next page as well.
 
  -- Macro: .PS
  -- Macro: .PE
      Denotes a graphic, to be processed by the 'pic' preprocessor.  You
      can create a 'pic' file by hand, using the AT&T 'pic' manual
      available on the Web as a reference, or by using a graphics program
      such as 'xfig'.
 
  -- Macro: .EQ [align]
  -- Macro: .EN
      Denotes an equation, to be processed by the 'eqn' preprocessor.
      The optional ALIGN argument can be 'C', 'L', or 'I' to center (the
      default), left-justify, or indent the equation.
 
  -- Macro: .[
  -- Macro: .]
      Denotes a reference, to be processed by the 'refer' preprocessor.
      The GNU 'refer(1)' man page provides a comprehensive reference to
      the preprocessor and the format of the bibliographic database.
