+.Nm
is a line-oriented text editor.
-It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text
-files.
-.\" .B red
-.\" is a restricted
-.\" .BR ed :
-.\" it can only edit files in the current
-.\" directory and cannot execute shell commands.
-
+It is used to create, display, modify, and otherwise manipulate text files.
If invoked with a
-.I file
+.Ar file
argument, then a copy of
-.I file
+.Ar file
is read into the editor's buffer.
Changes are made to this copy and not directly to
-.I file
+.Ar file
itself.
Upon quitting
-.BR ed ,
-any changes not explicitly saved with a
-.I `w'
+.Nm ed ,
+any changes not explicitly saved with a
+.Em w
command are lost.
-
+.Pp
Editing is done in two distinct modes:
-.I command
+.Em command
and
-.IR input .
+.Em input .
When first invoked,
-.B ed
+.Nm
is in command mode.
-In this mode commands are read from the standard input and
+In this mode, commands are read from the standard input and
executed to manipulate the contents of the editor buffer.
+.Pp
A typical command might look like:
-.sp
-.RS
-,s/\fIold\fR/\fInew\fR/g
-.RE
-.sp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+,s/old/new/g
+.Ed
+.Pp
which replaces all occurrences of the string
-.I old
+.Pa old
with
-.IR new .
-
+.Pa new .
+.Pp
When an input command, such as
-.I `a'
+.Em a
(append),
-.I `i'
-(insert) or
-.I `c'
-(change), is given,
-.B ed
-enters input mode. This is the primary means
-of adding text to a file.
+.Em i
+(insert),
+or
+.Em c
+(change) is given,
+.Nm
+enters input mode.
+This is the primary means of adding text to a file.
In this mode, no commands are available;
-instead, the standard input is written
-directly to the editor buffer. Lines consist of text up to and
-including a
-.IR newline
-character.
-Input mode is terminated by
-entering a single period (\fI.\fR) on a line.
-
+instead, the standard input is written directory to the editor buffer.
+Lines consist of text up to and including a newline character.
+Input mode is terminated by entering a single period
+.Pq Ql \&.
+on a line.
+.Pp
All
-.B ed
+.Nm
commands operate on whole lines or ranges of lines; e.g.,
the
-.I `d'
+.Em d
command deletes lines; the
-.I `m'
+.Em m
command moves lines, and so on.
It is possible to modify only a portion of a line by means of replacement,
-as in the example above. However even here, the
-.I `s'
+as in the example above.
+However, even here, the
+.Em s
command is applied to whole lines at a time.
-
+.Pp
In general,
-.B ed
+.Nm
commands consist of zero or more line addresses, followed by a single
character command and possibly additional parameters; i.e.,
commands have the structure:
-.sp
-.RS
-.I [address [,address]]command[parameters]
-.RE
-.sp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+[address [,address]]command[parameters]
+.Ed
+.Pp
The address(es) indicate the line or range of lines to be affected by the
-command. If fewer addresses are given than the command accepts, then
+command.
+If fewer addresses are given than the command accepts, then
default addresses are supplied.

-.SS LINE ADDRESSING

An address represents the number of a line in the buffer.
-.B ed
+.Nm
maintains a
-.I current address
-which is

-When a file is first read, the current address is set to the last line
-of the file. In general, the current address is set to the last line

+.Em current address
+which is typically supplied to commands as the default address
+when none is specified.
+When a file is first read, the current address is set to the last line
+of the file.
+In general, the current address is set to the last line affected by a command.
+.Pp
A line address is
constructed from one of the bases in the list below, optionally followed
-by a numeric offset. The offset may include any combination
-of digits, operators (i.e.,
-.IR + ,
-.I -
+by a numeric offset.
+The offset may include any combination of digits, operators (i.e.,
+.Em + ,
+.Em - ,
and
-.IR ^ )
+.Em ^ ) ,
and whitespace.
Addresses are read from left to right, and their values are computed
relative to the current address.
-
+.Pp
One exception to the rule that addresses represent line numbers is the
address
-.I 0
+.Em 0
(zero).
-This means "before the first line,"
+This means
+.Dq before the first line ,
and is legal wherever it makes sense.
-
-An address range is two addresses separated either by a comma or
-semi-colon. The value of the first address in a range cannot exceed the
-value of the second. If only one address is given in a range, then
-the second address is set to the given address. If an

+An address range is two addresses separated either by a comma or semi-colon.
+The value of the first address in a range cannot exceed the

+If only one address is given in a range,
+then the second address is set to the given address.
+If an
+.Em n Ns No -tuple
of addresses is given where
-.I n > 2,
-then the corresponding range is determined by the last two addresses in
-the
-.IR n- tuple.
+.Em n > 2 ,
+then the corresponding range is determined by the last two addresses in the
+.Em n Ns No -tuple.
If only one address is expected, then the last address is used.
-
+.Pp
Each address in a comma-delimited range is interpreted relative to the
-current address. In a semi-colon-delimited range, the first address is
+current address.
+In a semi-colon-delimited range, the first address is
used to set the current address, and the second address is interpreted
