By default, when using refer with groff, the bibliography section at the end of a paper is called "References", written out in bold text. In the we macro set, the heading is set as a chapter name using the call
.+c "References"
meaning that it will conform to the heading structure you set for chapters.
Furthermore, the call
.rh
can change the default title
.rh "Notes and Bibliography"
Will replace the "References" heading with "Notes and Bibliography"
Lastly, the fontsize of the bibliography section has been increased to 12 to be consistent with the other .+c sections in your documents.
The calls .b .i .r .rb .bi now all accept a third argument. This third argument will be prepended to the text in the previous font.
Example
.b "This in bold" ) (
produces
(This in bold)
