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

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.
