+Macros
+.
+.p
+.i Mg
+defines a number of macros.
+Some of them are used internally by
+.i mg
+itself;
+these carry an underscore prefix
+and are not explained here.
+The rest provide useful features,
+like headings, subheadings and paragraphs.
+.s
+Inline macros
+.p
+There is a group of macros that provide
+convenient inline formatting.
+All take three arguments:
+the text to be formatted,
+the text to be placed immediately after
+and the text to be placed immediately before.
+The inline macros are the following:
+.e 0
+.c b ,
+bold font
+.e
+.c c ,
+constant-width font
+.e
+.c i ,
+italic font
+.e
+.c i ,
+bold italic font
+.p
+For example, the following request outputs
+.i mg .\(rq: \(lq
+.l
+\&.i mg .
+.
+.p
+Note that
+.c c
+uses the font family and point size
+set in the
+.c l
+environment (see below).
+.s
+Block-level macros
+.p
+There is a large group of macros that provide
+block-level formatting:
+.e 0
+.c d ,
+centered date (or given string)
+.e
+.c h ,
+heading
+.e
+.c l ,
+literal display (for source code)
+.e
+.c n ,
+centered name of author
+.e
+.c p ,
+paragraph
+.e
+.c s ,
+subheading
+.e
+.c t ,
+centered title of document
+.
+.s
+Other macros
+.p
+Finally, there are a few macros
+that belong to neither category.
+.e 0
+.c q ,
+quotation
+.e
+.c ( ,
+begin footnote
+.e
+.c ) ,
+end footnote
+.p
+By default,
+.c q
+behaves like an inline macro,
+surrounding text in quotation marks,
+but if no arguments are given to it,
+it starts an indented block quotation instead.
+.p
+The footnote macros are used like this\c
+.(
+Note that
+.c (
+and
+.c )
+take an optional argument,
+which is output immediately before or after
+the footnote number.

+.p
+Note that
+.i mg
+does not account for cases where a footnote, because of its height,
+pushes the place where it is referenced to the next page.
+In such cases, the reference will simply appear on the page
+following the footnote.
+When this happens, the user must account for it manually.
