 The default line specifier for most commands is the cursor position, but the

+	:-2,+,-2,. print

 						*:range-offset*
+Each line specifier may be followed by one or more '+' or '-' and an optional
+number.  That value is added or subtracted from the preceding line number.
+So, for example, 'x+2 is two lines after the line containing mark x.  If the
+number is omitted, +1 is used for each '+' and -1 for each '-' so, e.g., 'x++
+and 'x+2 are synonymous.  If there is nothing before the '+' or '-', for the
+first line number in [range] the current line is used as the relative
+starting point.  So, -,. means, "the line before the current line to the
+current line".  The value of the second line number in [range] depends on
+whether a comma or semicolon separates the line numbers (see |:,| and |:;|).
+Examples: If the cursor is within the line below this one, any of these
+commands will print the tag line ":range-offset" and the line, "Each...": >
+	:-11;+1 print
+	:-----------,-10 print
+	:?Each line?-;+ print
+	:'{+,'{+2 print
+	:'{+1;')-1 print
+<						*:range-closed-fold*
 When a line number after the comma is in a closed fold it is adjusted to the
 last line of the fold, thus the whole fold is included.
