Our manual page for ptx(1) contains the following (local) addition:

	.SH EXAMPLE
	The following is a reasonably-minimal
	set of
	.I nroff
	statements which will format
	.I ptx
	output reasonably;  the style is similar to the index for this manual.
	The spacings may need adjustment for different output devices.
	.PP
	.RS
	.nf
	\&.de xx
	\&.if !""\\\\$1" \\\\$1\\fI\\a\\fR\\\\$2\\t\\\\$3\\fI\\a\\fR\\t\\\\$5
	\&.if !""\\\\$4" \\t\\\\$2\\t\\\\$3\\fI\\a\\fR\\\\$4\\t\\\\$5
	\&.if ""\\\\$1\\\\$4" \\t\\\\$2\\t\\\\$3\\fI\\a\\fR\\t\\\\$5
	\&..

	.RE

You should probably run this through nroff to make sure you don't get
confused about how many backslashes go where in the final product.
