211 As explained in
213 document processing uses markup tags to identify document elements
214 such as heads, paragraphs, and so on. The tags are, of course, macros,
215 but with sensible, readable names that make them easy to grasp and
216 easy to remember. (And don't forget: if you don't like the
219 with the
221 macro.)
222 <p>
224 extensive array of macros that control how they look and behave.
225 <p>
227 You begin by entering information about the document itself (title,
229 kind of document you're creating (e.g. chapter, letter, abstract,
230 etc...) and what kind of output you want (typeset, typewrittten,
231 draft-style, etc). Thirdly, you make as many or as few changes to
233 invoke the
235 macro. Voilà ! You're ready to write.
236 <br>
237 <hr>
243 If you want to know a particular default, read about it in the
244 description of the pertinent tag.
245 <p>
246 I fear the following may not be adequately covered in the
247 documentation. Just in case, here they are.
248 <p>
249 <ul>
252 <li>the top and bottom margins for document text are plus/minus
253 visually 1-inch
254 <li>pages are numbered; the number appears centered, at the
255 bottom, surrounded by hyphens ( e.g. -6- )
256 <li>the first page of a document begins with a
258 <li>subsequent pages have
260 with a rule underneath
261 </ul>
262 <p>
263 Another way to check up on document processing defaults is to have
264 a look at the macro file (om.tmac). Each macro is preceded by a
265 description that (generally) says what its default is (if it has
266 one).
267 <br>

276 very seriously. Only under a very few (exceptional) circumstances
278 short).
279 <p>
284 the leading used in paragraphs) to calculate the spacing of every
285 document element. Prior to invoking
287 this is set with the
290 afterwards with the document
293 <p>
295 leading, any change to the leading or spacing on a page will almost
296 certainly have undesirable consequences on that page's bottom margin
297 unless the change is fully compensated for elsewhere on the page.
298 <p>
299 In other words, if you add a few points of space somewhere on a page,
300 you must subtract the same number of points somewhere else on that
301 same page, and vice versa.
302 <p>
303 If it's a question of adding or subtracting full line spaces between
306 with whatever spacing macro you choose --
314 <em>provided you compensate for the fractional linespace somewhere
315 else on the page</em>.
316 <p>
318 provides a special macro to get you out of trouble if you've played
319 around with leading and/or spacing. The macro is called
321 use to get their work even, level and snug), and it's described
322 below.

325 <!---SHIM--->
328 <p>
332 <p>
334 you've played around with the
336 or spacing on a page and you
338 <p>
339 For example, say you want to insert a picture into a document with
342 <p>
343 Pictures aren't usually conveniently sized in multiples of document
344 leading, which means that when you insert the picture, you disrupt
346 This will certainly result in a bottom margin that doesn't match the
347 bottom margins of your document's other pages.

350 like this:

359 much or a little space after the picture as is needed to ensure that
360 the baseline of the next
363 disrupted the normal flow of output lines with the picture.
364 <p>
365 And say, on previewing the above example, you find that the picture
366 doesn't centre nicely between the lines of text, you can always do
367 <p>

370 .RLD 3p

393 be reassured that something as simple as

406 with the title and author on subsequent
407 pages, and page numbers at the bottom of each page. In the course
408 of the document, heads, subheads, citations, quotes, epigraphs,
409 and so on, all come out looking neat, trim, and professional.

411 For the purposes of this tutorial, we're going to set up a short
413 we don't have to look at story itself, just the setup.

434 some reference information. The reference macros are:
435 <p>
436 <ul>
437 <li>TITLE
438 <li>DOCTITLE
439 <li>SUBTITLE
440 <li>AUTHOR
441 <li>CHAPTER -- the chapter number
442 <li>DRAFT -- the draft number
443 <li>REVISION -- the revision number
444 </ul>
445 <p>
446 You can use as many or as few as you wish, although at a minimum,
449 You can separate the
451 from the macros by any number of spaces. The following are
452 what you'd need to start Joe Blow's story.
453 <p>

465 of document is it? Should it be typeset or typewritten? Is this
469 <p>
470 <ul>
471 <li>DOCTYPE -- the type of document (default, chapter, user-defined, letter)

483 <p>
484 Adding to what we already have, the next bit of setup for Joe
485 Blow's story looks like this:
486 <p>
487 <pre>
488 .TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
489 .AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
490 .DRAFT 7
491 .REVISION 39
492 \#
493 .DOCTYPE DEFAULT \"Superfluous; mom uses DOCTYPE DEFAULT by default
494 .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
495 .COPYSTYLE DRAFT
496 </pre>
498 Notice the use of the
500 ( \# ), a handy way to keep groups of macros visually separated
501 for easy reading in a text editor.
503 <h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>
505 This step -- completely optional -- is where you, the user, take
506 charge. <strong>Mom</strong> has defaults for <em>everything</em>,
507 but who's ever satisfied with defaults? Use any of the <a
509 here to change <strong>mom</strong>'s document defaults (paper
510 size, margins, family, point size, line space, rag, etc), or
511 any of the document processing macros that set/change/control
512 the appearance of document elements. Think of this as the
513 "style-sheet " section of a document.
514 <p>
515 Joe Blow wants his story printed in Helvetica, 12 on 14, rag
516 right, with
518 instead of
520 and a single asterisk for the
522 character. None of these requirements conforms
523 to <strong>mom</strong>'s defaults for the chosen
524 <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> (TYPESET), so we change them here.
525 The setup for Joe Blow's story now looks like this:
526 <p>
527 <pre>
530 .DRAFT 7
531 .REVISION 39
532 \#
533 .DOCTYPE DEFAULT
534 .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET

547 to start document processing. It's a no-brainer, just the single macro
549 the only macro required for document processing (although
550 I can't guarantee you'll like the results of using just the two).

574 As pointed out earlier, Joe Blow is no typographer. Given that all he
575 needs is a printed draft of his work, a simpler setup would have been:
576 <p>
577 <pre>
580 .DRAFT 7
581 .REVISION 39
582 \#
583 .PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE
584 .COPYSTYLE DRAFT
585 \#
586 .START
587 </pre>
589 <kbd>.PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</kbd>, above, means that Joe's work
590 will come out "typewritten, double-spaced", making the
591 blue-pencilling he (or someone else) is sure to do much
592 easier (which is why many publishers and agents still insist on
593 typewritten, double-spaced copy).
594 <p>
595 When J. Blow stops re-writing and decides to print off a final,
596 typeset copy of his work for the world to see, he need only
597 make two changes to the (simplified) setup:
598 <p>
599 <pre>
602 .DRAFT 7
603 .REVISION 39
604 \#
605 .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET \"first change
606 .COPYSTYLE FINAL \"second change
607 \#
608 .START
609 </pre>
611 In the above, <kbd>.DRAFT 7, .REVISION 39,</kbd> and <kbd>.COPYSTYLE
612 FINAL</kbd> are actually superfluous. The draft and revision numbers
613 aren't used when <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong>,
614 and <strong>COPYSTYLE FINAL</strong> is <strong>mom</strong>'s
615 default unless you tell her otherwise. BUT... to judge from the
616 number of drafts already, J. Blow may very well decide his
617 "final" version still isn't up to snuff. Hence, he might
618 as well leave in the superfluous macros. That way, when draft 7,
619 rev. 62 becomes draft 8, rev. 1, he'll be ready to tackle his Pulitzer
620 winner again.

627 <h2><u>The Reference Macros</u></h2>
628 </a>
630 The reference macros give <strong>mom</strong> the information
631 she needs to generate
633 and
635 must go at the top of any file that uses <strong>mom</strong>'s
636 document processing macros.
639 <h3><u>Reference macros list</u></h3>
640 </a>
642 <ul>
650 </ul>
652 <!---TITLE--->
655 <p>
657 Macro: <strong>TITLE</strong> <var>"<title>"</var>
658 <br>
659 <em>*Argument must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
661 <p>
662 The title string can be caps or caps/lower-case; it's up to you.
663 In
665 the title will appear in the
667 exactly as you typed it. However, <strong>mom</strong> converts
668 the title to all caps in
670 unless you turn that feature off (see
673 the title always gets converted to caps.
674 <p>
675 <strong>NOTE:</strong> If your
677 is <strong>CHAPTER</strong>, <strong>TITLE</strong> should be the
678 title of the opus, not "CHAPTER whatever".
679 <br>
681 <!---DOCTITLE--->
684 <p>
686 Macro: <strong>DOCTITLE</strong> <var>"<overall document title>"</var>
687 <br>
688 <em>*Argument must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
690 <p>
691 <strong>NOTE:</strong> This macro should be used only if your
693 is <strong>DEFAULT</strong> (which is <strong>mom</strong>'s
694 default).
695 <p>
696 When you're creating a single document, say, an essay or a short
697 story, you have no need of this macro.
699 takes care of all your title needs.
700 <p>
701 However if you're
703 a bunch of documents together, say, to print out a report containing
704 many articles with different titles, or a book of short stories, you
705 need <strong>DOCTITLE</strong>.
706 <p>
707 <strong>DOCTITLE</strong> tells <strong>mom</strong> the title
708 of the complete document (as opposed to the title of each article
709 or entitled section).
710 <p>
711 The doctitle string can be caps or caps/lower-case; it's up to you.
712 In
714 by default, the doctitle appears in the rightmost position of
716 all in caps unless you turn that feature off (see
719 the doctitle always gets converted to caps.
720 <p>
721 <strong>NOTE:</strong> If your
723 is <strong>CHAPTER</strong>, you don't need
724 <strong>DOCTITLE</strong>. <strong>TITLE</strong> takes care of
725 everything.
726 <br>
727 <!---SUBTITLE--->
730 <p>
732 Macro: <strong>SUBTITLE</strong> <var>"<subtitle>"</var>
733 <br>
734 <em>*Argument must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
736 <p>
737 The subtitle string can be caps or caps/lower-case. Since a
738 document's subtitle appears only in the
740 and the title is most likely in caps, I recommend caps/lower case.
741 <br>
743 <!---AUTHOR--->
746 <p>
748 Macro: <strong>AUTHOR</strong> <var>"<author string>" [ "<author2 string>" "<author3 string>" ... ]</var>
749 <br>
750 <em>*Multiple arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
752 <p>
753 Each author string can hold as many names as you like, e.g.
754 <p>
755 <pre>
757 or
759 </pre>
761 <strong>Mom</strong> prints each string that's enclosed in
762 double-quotes on a separate line in the
764 however only the first string appears in
766 If you want <strong>mom</strong> to put something else in the author
767 part of page headers (say, just the last names of a document's two
768 authors), redefine the appropriate part of the header (see
770 <p>
771 The strings can be caps or caps/lower-case. I recommend caps/lower
772 case.
773 <br>
775 <!---CHAPTER--->
778 <p>
780 Macro: <strong>CHAPTER</strong> <var><chapter number></var>
782 <p>
783 The chapter number can be in any form you like -- a digit, a roman
784 numeral, a word. If you choose
786 <strong>mom</strong> prints whatever argument you pass
787 <strong>CHAPTER</strong> beside the word "Chapter" as a
788 single line
790 She also puts the same thing in the middle of
792 <p>
793 If you're not using <strong>DOCTYPE CHAPTER</strong>, the macro serves
794 no purpose and <strong>mom</strong> ignores it.
795 <p>
797 <p>
798 If you're not writing in English, you can ask <strong>mom</strong>
799 to use the word for chapter in your own language by telling
800 her what it is with the <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong> macro,
801 like this:
802 <p>
803 <pre>
805 </pre>
807 You can also use <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong> if you want
808 "CHAPTER" instead of "Chapter" in the doc- and
809 page-headers.
810 <br>
812 <!---CHAPTER_TITLE--->
815 <p>
817 Macro: <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong> <var>"<chapter title>"</var>
819 <p>
820 If, either in addition to or instead of "Chapter #" appearing
821 at the top of chapters, you want your chapter to have a title, use
822 <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong> with your title enclosed in
823 double-quotes, like this:
824 <p>
825 <pre>
827 </pre>
829 If you've used
831 "Chapter #" and the title will appear at the top of the
832 chapter, like this:
833 <p>
834 <pre>
835 Chapter 1
836 The DMCA Nazis
837 </pre>
839 In such a case, by default, only the chapter's title will appear in the
840 page headers, not "Chapter #".
841 <p>
842 If you omit <strong>CHAPTER</strong> when setting up your reference
843 macros, only the title will appear, both at the top of page one and in
844 subsequent page headers.
845 <br>
847 <!---DRAFT--->
850 <p>
852 Macro: <strong>DRAFT</strong> <var><draft #></var>
854 <p>
855 <strong>DRAFT</strong> only gets used with
857 If the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong> (the
858 default), <strong>mom</strong> ignores <strong>DRAFT</strong>.

862 <strong>Mom</strong> prints the draft number beside the word
863 "Draft" in the middle part of

868 If you're not writing in English, you can ask <strong>mom</strong>

885 <strong>REVISION</strong> only gets used with
887 If the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong>
888 (the default), <strong>mom</strong> ignores the
889 <strong>REVISION</strong> macro. <strong>REVISION</strong> only
890 accepts a

893 <strong>Mom</strong> prints the revision number beside the shortform
894 "Rev." in the middle part of

912 <h2><u>The Docstyle Macros</u></h2>
913 </a>
915 The docstyle macros tell <strong>mom</strong> what type of document you're
916 writing, whether you want the output typeset or
917 "typewritten", and whether you want a draft copy (with
918 draft and revision information in the headers) or a final copy.

993 <strong>NAMED</strong> takes an additional argument: a name
994 for this particular kind of document (e.g. outline, synopsis,
995 abstract, memorandum), enclosed in double-quotes.
996 <strong>NAMED</strong> is identical to <strong>DEFAULT</strong>
997 except that <strong>mom</strong> prints the argument to
998 <strong>NAMED</strong> beneath the
1000 as well as in page headers.
1001 (See
1003 for how <strong>mom</strong>'s outputs each part of the page header.)
1004 <p>
1005 <strong>LETTER</strong> tells mom you're writing a letter. See
1006 the section
1008 for instructions on using <strong>mom</strong> to format letters.

1011 <!---PRINTSTYLE--->
1014 <p>
1016 Macro: <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> <var>TYPESET | TYPEWRITE [ SINGLESPACE ]</var>
1017 <br>
1018 <em>*Required for document processing.</em>
1019 <br>
1020 <em>*Must come before any changes to default document style</em>
1022 <p>
1023 <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> tells <strong>mom</strong> whether to typeset
1024 a document, or to print it out "typewritten, doubled-spaced".
1025 <p>
1026 <strong>THIS MACRO MAY NOT BE OMITTED.</strong> In order for
1027 document processing to take place, <strong>mom</strong> requires
1028 a <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>. If you don't give one,
1029 <strong>mom</strong> will warn you on stderr and print a single
1030 page with a nasty message. Furthermore, <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>
1031 must come before any changes to <strong>mom</strong>'s default
1032 typestyle parameters. (This applies primarily to
1033 <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</strong>.
1034 <p>
1035 <strong>TYPESET</strong>, as the argument implies, typesets documents
1036 (by default in Times Roman; see
1038 You have full access to all the
1040 as well as the
1042 of document processing.
1043 <p>
1044 As mentioned in the above paragraph, <strong>PRINTSTYLE
1045 TYPESET</strong> must come before any changes to
1046 <strong>mom</strong>'s default typographic settings. For example,
1048 <pre>
1049 .LS 14
1050 .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
1051 </pre>
1053 will not changes <strong>mom</strong>'s default document leading
1054 of 16 points to 14 points, whereas
1056 <pre>
1057 .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
1058 .LS 14
1059 </pre>
1061 will.
1062 <p>
1063 With <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>, <strong>mom</strong> does her best
1064 to reproduce the look and feel of typewritten, double-spaced copy (see
1067 and
1069 that alter family, font, point size, and
1071 are (mostly) ignored. An important exception is
1073 (and, by extension, <strong>FOOTER_SIZE</strong>), which allows
1074 you to reduce the point size of headers/footers should they become
1075 too crowded. Most of <strong>mom</strong>'s inlines affecting the
1076 appearance of type are also ignored (<strong>\*S</strong> is an
1077 exception; there may be a few others).
1078 <p>
1079 In short, <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> never produces effects other than
1080 those available on a typewriter. Don't be fooled by how brainless
1081 this sounds; <strong>mom</strong> is remarkably sophisticated when
1082 it comes to conveying the typographic sense of a document within the
1083 confines of <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>.
1084 <p>
1085 The primary uses of <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> are: outputting hard
1086 copy drafts of your work (for editing), and producing documents
1087 for submission to publishers and agents who (wisely) insist on
1088 typewritten, double-spaced copy. To get a nicely typeset version of
1089 work that's in the submission phase of its life (say, to show fellow
1090 writers for critiquing), simply change <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>
1091 to <strong>TYPESET</strong> and print out a copy.
1092 <p>
1093 If, for some reason, you would prefer the output of
1094 <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> single-spaced, pass <strong>PRINTSTYLE
1095 TYPEWRITE</strong> the optional argument, <strong>SINGLESPACE</strong>.
1096 <p>
1097 If you absolutely must have a leading other than typewriter double-
1098 or singlespaced, the only way to get it is with the
1100 macro, and then ONLY if <strong>DOC_LEAD</strong> is set
1101 <strong>before</strong> you invoke the <strong>START</strong>
1102 macro.

1139 In <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>,
1140 by default, underlines anything that looks like italics. This
1141 includes the
1144 for pseudo-italics.
1145 <p>
1146 If you'd prefer that <strong>mom</strong> were
1147 less bloody-minded about pretending to be a typewriter (i.e.
1148 you'd like italics and pseudo-italics to come out as italics),
1149 use the control macros <strong>.ITALIC_MEANS_ITALIC</strong> and
1150 <strong>.SLANT_MEANS_SLANT</strong>. Neither requires an
1151 argument.
1152 <p>
1153 Although it's unlikely, should you wish to reverse the sense of
1154 these macros in the midst of a document,
1155 <strong>.UNDERLINE_ITALIC</strong> and
1156 <strong>.UNDERLINE_SLANT</strong> restore underlining of
1157 italics and pseudo-italics.
1158 <p>
1159 Additionally, by default, <strong>mom</strong> underlines
1161 (but not
1163 in <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>.
1164 If you don't like this behaviour, turn it off with
1165 <p>
1166 <pre>
1167 .UNDERLINE_QUOTES OFF
1168 </pre>
1170 To turn underlining of quotes back on, use
1171 <strong>UNDERLINE_QUOTES</strong> without an argument.
1172 <p>
1173 While most of the
1175 have no effect on <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>, there
1176 is an important exception:
1178 (and by extension, <strong>FOOTER_SIZE</strong>). This is
1179 particularly useful for reducing the point size of
1180 headers/footers should they become crowded (quite likely to
1181 happen if the title of your document is long and your
1183 is <strong>DRAFT</strong>).
1184 <br>
1186 <!---COPYSTYLE--->
1189 <p>
1191 Macro: <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> <var>DRAFT | FINAL</var>
1193 <p>
1194 <strong>Mom</strong>'s default <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is
1195 <strong>FINAL</strong>, so you don't have to use this macro unless
1196 you want to.
1197 <p>
1198 <strong>COPYSTYLE DRAFT</strong> exhibits the following behaviour:
1199 <br>
1200 <ol>
1201 <li>documents start on page 1, whether or not you
1202 request a different starting page number with
1204 <li>page numbers are set in lower case roman numerals
1205 <li>the draft number supplied by
1207 and a revision number, if supplied with
1209 (see
1211 appear in the center part of
1213 (or footers, depending on which you'ves selected) along with
1214 any other information that normally appears there.
1215 </ol>
1216 <p>
1217 <strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> If you define your own center part for page
1218 headers with
1220 no draft and/or revision number will appear there. If you want draft
1221 and revision information in this circumstance, use
1223 <p>
1224 <strong>COPYSTYLE FINAL</strong> differs from <strong>DRAFT</strong> in that:
1225 <br>
1226 <ol>
1227 <li>it respects the starting page number you give the document
1228 <li>page numbers are set in normal (arabic) digits
1229 <li>no draft or revision number appears in the page headers
1230 </ol>
1231 <p>
1232 <strong>NOTE:</strong> The center part of page headers can get crowded,
1233 especially with
1235 and
1237 when the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>DRAFT</strong>.
1238 Three mechanisms are available to overcome this problem. One is to
1239 reduce the overall size of headers (with
1241 Another, which only works with
1243 is to reduce the size of the header's centre part only (with
1245 And finally, you can elect to have the draft/revsion information
1246 attached to page numbers instead of having it appear in the center
1247 of page headers (see
1249 <br>
1250 <hr>
1252 <!========================================================================>
1256 In the third (optional) part of setting up a document (see
1258 you can use the
1260 to change <strong>mom</strong>'s document-wide defaults for margins,
1261 line length, family, base point size,
1263 and justification style.
1264 <p>
1265 Two additional style concerns have to be addressed here (i.e. in
1266 macros before
1268 changes to the
1270 and whether you want you want the document's nominal leading
1271 adjusted to fill pages fully to the bottom margin.
1272 <p>
1273 <ul>
1275 <p>
1277 -- adjusting linespacing for equal, accurate bottom margins
1279 -- turning the docheader off
1280 <ul>
1282 </ul>
1283 </ul>
1288 From time to time (or maybe frequently), you'll want the overall
1289 look of a document to differ from <strong>mom</strong>'s defaults.
1290 Perhaps you'd like her to use a different
1292 or a different overall
1294 or have different left and/or right page margins.
1295 <p>
1296 To accomplish such alterations, use the appropriate
1298 (listed below) prior to
1300 Do <strong>NOT</strong> use the macros listed in
1302 prior to <strong>START</strong>; they are exclusively for use afterwards.
1303 <p>
1304 When used before
1305 <strong>START</strong>,
1306 the
1308 (below) have the following meanings:
1309 <p>
1310 <pre>
1311 L_MARGIN Left margin of pages, including headers/footers
1312 R_MARGIN Right margin of pages, including headers/footers
1313 T_MARGIN The point at which running text (i.e. not
1314 headers/footers or page numbers) starts on each page
1315 *B_MARGIN The point at which running text (i.e. not
1316 (see note) headers/footers or page numbers) ends on each page
1318 PAGE If you use PAGE, its final four arguments have the
1319 same meaning as L_ R_ T_ and B_MARGIN above.)
1321 LL The line length for everything on the page;
1322 equivalent to setting the right margin with R_MARGIN
1323 FAMILY The family of all type in the document
1324 PT_SIZE The point size of type in paragraphs; mom uses this
1325 calculate automatic point size changes (eg. for heads,
1326 footnotes, quotes, headers, etc)
1327 **LS/AUTOLEAD The leading used in paragraphs; all leading and spacing
1328 of running text is calculated from this
1329 QUAD Affects paragraphs only
1331 ------
1332 *See <a href="headfootpage.html#FOOTER_MARGIN">FOOTER MARGIN AND BOTTOM MARGIN</a> for an important warning
1334 </pre>
1336 Other macros that deal with type style, or refinements thereof
1337 (<strong>KERN, LIGATURES, HY, WS, SS,</strong> etc.), behave normally.
1338 It is not recommended that you set up tabs or indents prior to
1339 <strong>START</strong>.
1340 <p>
1341 If you want to change any of the basic parameters (above)
1342 <em>after</em> <strong>START</strong> and have them affect a
1343 document globally (as if you'd entered them <em>before</em>
1344 <strong>START</strong>), you must use the macros listed in
1346 <br>
1348 <!---DOC_LEAD_ADJUST--->
1352 <br>
1353 Macro: <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong> <var>toggle</var>
1354 <br>
1355 <em>*Must come after LS or AUTOLEAD and before START</em>
1357 <p>
1358 <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong> is a special macro to adjust
1359 document
1361 so that bottom margins fall precisely where you expect.
1362 <p>
1363 If you invoke <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>
1364 takes the number of lines that fit on the page at your requested
1365 leading, then incrementally adds
1367 to the leading until the maximum number of lines at the new leading
1368 matches the bottom margin. In most instances, the difference
1369 between the requested lead and the adjusted lead is
1370 unnoticeable, and since in almost all cases adjusted leading is
1371 what you want, it's <strong>mom</strong>'s default.
1372 <p>
1373 Should you NOT want adjusted document leading, you MUST turn it
1374 off manually, like this:
1375 <p>
1376 <pre>
1377 .DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF
1378 </pre>
1379 If you set the document leading prior to <strong>START</strong>
1380 with
1382 or
1384 <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF</strong> must come afterwards, like
1385 this:
1386 <p>
1387 <pre>
1388 .LS 12
1389 .DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF
1390 </pre>
1392 In this scenario, the maximum number of lines that fit on a page at
1393 a
1395 of 12
1397 determine where <strong>mom</strong> ends
1398 a page. The effect will be that last lines usually fall (slightly)
1399 short of the "official" bottom margin.
1400 <p>
1401 In
1403 <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>, the leading is always adjusted and
1404 can't be turned off.
1405 <p>
1406 <strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, if
1407 used, must be invoked after
1409 or
1411 and before
1413 <p>
1414 <strong>ADDITIONAL NOTE:</strong> Even if you disable
1415 <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, <strong>mom</strong> will still
1416 adjust the leading of endnotes pages and toc pages. See
1418 and
1420 for an explanation of how to disable this default behaviour.
1421 <br>
1423 <!---DOCHEADER--->
1427 <br>
1428 Macro: <strong>DOCHEADER</strong> <var><toggle> [ distance to advance from top of page ]</var>
1429 <br>
1430 <em>*Must come before START; distance requires a <a href="#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a></em>
1432 <p>
1433 By default, <strong>mom</strong> prints a
1435 on the first page of any document (see
1437 for a description of the docheader). If you don't want a docheader,
1438 turn it off with
1439 <p>
1440 <pre>
1441 .DOCHEADER OFF
1442 </pre>
1444 <strong>DOCHEADER</strong> is a toggle macro, so the argument doesn't
1445 have to be <strong>OFF</strong>; it can be anything you like.
1446 <p>
1447 If you turn the docheader off, <strong>mom</strong>, by default, starts
1448 the running text of your document on the same top
1450 as all subsequent pages. If you'd like her to start at a different
1451 vertical position, give her the distance you'd like as a second
1452 argument.
1453 <p>
1454 <pre>
1455 .DOCHEADER OFF 1.5i
1456 </pre>
1458 This starts the document 1.5 inches from the top of the page PLUS
1459 whatever spacing adjustment <strong>mom</strong> has to make in
1460 order to ensure that the first baseline of running text falls on a
1461 "legal" baseline (i.e. one that ensures that the bottom
1462 margin of the first page falls where it should). The distance is
1463 measured from the top edge of the paper to the
1465 of the first line of type.
1466 <p>
1467 <strong>TIP:</strong> Since no document processing happens until
1468 you invoke
1470 -- including anything to do with docheaders -- you can typeset
1471 your own docheader prior to <strong>START</strong> (if you don't
1472 like the way <strong>mom</strong> does things) and use
1473 <strong>DOCHEADER OFF</strong> with its optional distance argument
1474 to ensure that the body of your document starts where you want.
1475 You can even insert a PostScript file (with <strong>.PSPIC</strong>;
1476 see the <strong>grops</strong> man page for usage).
1478 <a name="DOCHEADER_CONTROL"><h3><u>How to change the look of docheaders: docheader control macros</u></h3></a>

1481 With
1483 the look of docheaders is carved in stone.
1484 In
1486 however, you can make a lot of changes. Macros that alter docheaders
1487 MUST come before
1490 <p>
1491 A typeset docheader has the following characteristics. Note that
1492 title, subtitle, author, and document type are what you supply
1493 with the
1495 Any you leave out will not appear; <strong>mom</strong> will
1496 compensate:
1497 <p>
1498 <pre>
1499 TITLE bold, 3.5 points larger than running text (not necessarily caps)
1500 Subtitle medium, same size as running text
1501 by medium italic, same size as running text
1502 Author(s) medium italic, same size as running text
1504 (Document type) bold italic, underscored, 3 points larger than running text

1520 <h3><u>The docheader macros to:</u></h3>
1521 <ol>
1528 </ol>
1529 <p>
1531 By default, a docheader starts on the same
1533 as
1535 If you'd like it to start somewhere else, use the macro
1536 <kbd>.DOCHEADER_ADVANCE</kbd> and give it the distance you want
1537 (measured from the top edge of the paper to the first baseline
1538 of the docheader), like this:
1539 <p>
1540 <pre>
1541 .DOCHEADER_ADVANCE 4P
1542 </pre>
1544 A
1546 is required.
1547 <p>
1548 <strong>NOTE:</strong> If
1550 are <strong>OFF</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>'s normal top
1551 margin for
1553 (7.5
1555 changes to 6 picas (visually approx. 1 inch). Since the
1556 first baseline of the docheader falls on the same baseline
1557 as the first line of running text (on pages after page 1),
1558 you might find the docheaders a bit high when headers are off.
1559 Use
1561 to place them where you want.
1565 The
1567 of docheaders is the same as running text (except when
1569 is <strong>CHAPTER</strong> <em>and</em> both a chapter number and a
1570 chapter title have been supplied, in which case the default is 4 points
1571 more than running text.)
1572 <p>
1573 If you'd like your docheaders to have a different leading, say, 2
1574 points more than the lead of running text, use:
1575 <p>
1576 <pre>
1577 .DOCHEADER_LEAD +2
1578 </pre>
1580 Since the leading of docheaders is calculated from the lead of running
1581 text, a + or - sign is required before the argument (how much to add
1582 or subtract from the lead of running text). No
1584 is required; points is assumed.
1587 The following macros let you change the
1589 of each docheader element separately:
1590 <p>
1591 <ul>
1592 <li><strong>TITLE_FAMILY</strong> <var><family></var>
1593 <li><strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_FAMILY</strong> <var><family></var>

1625 The following macros let you adjust the point size of each docheader
1626 element separately.
1627 <p>
1628 <strong>Mom</strong> calculates the point size
1629 of docheader elements from the point size of paragraphs in running
1630 text, so you must prepend a + or - sign to the argument. Points is
1631 assumed as the
1633 so there's no need to append a unit to the argument. Fractional point
1634 sizes are allowed.
1635 <p>
1636 <ul>
1637 <li><strong>TITLE_SIZE</strong> <var><+/-points></var>

1655 Simply pass the appropriate macro the size adjustment you want.
1657 <a name="CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE"><h3><u>6. Change the attribution string ("by")</u></h3></a>
1658 <p>
1659 If you're not writing in English, you can change what
1660 <strong>mom</strong> prints where "by" appears in
1661 docheaders. For example,
1662 <p>
1663 <pre>
1665 </pre>
1667 changes "by" to "par". If you
1668 don't want an attribution string at all, simply pass
1669 <strong>ATTRIBUTE_STRING</strong> an empty argument, like this:
1670 <p>
1671 <pre>
1673 </pre>
1675 <strong>Mom</strong> will deposit a blank line where the
1676 attribution string normally appears.
1677 <p>
1678 <strong>NOTE:</strong> The type specs for the attribution line
1679 in docheaders are the same as for the author line. Although
1680 it's highly unlikely you'll want the attribution line in a
1681 different family, font, or point size, you can do so by using
1683 in the argument to <strong>ATTRIBUTE_STRING</strong>. For
1684 example,
1685 <p>
1686 <pre>

1700 Setting documents in columns is easy with <strong>mom</strong>. (Of
1701 course she'd say that, but it's true!) All you have to do is is
1702 say how many columns you want and how much space you want
1703 between them (the
1705 That's it. <strong>Mom</strong> takes care of everything else, from
1706 soup to nuts.
1707 <p>
1708 <strong>SOME WORDS OF ADVICE:</strong>
1709 <p>
1710 If you want your type to achieve a pleasing
1712 or
1714 in columns, reduce the point size of type (and probably the
1716 as well). <strong>Mom</strong>'s default document point
1717 size is 12.5, which works well across her default 39
1719 full page line length, but with even just two columns on a page,
1720 the default point size is awkward to work with.
1721 <p>
1722 Furthermore, you'll absolutely need to reduce the indents for
1725 and
1727 (and probably the
1729 as well).

1737 Macro: <strong>COLUMNS</strong> <var><number of columns> <width of gutters></var>
1738 <br>
1739 <em>*Should be the last macro before START
1740 <br>
1743 <p>
1744 <strong>COLUMNS</strong> takes two arguments: the number of
1745 columns you want on document pages, and the width of the
1747 between them. For example, to set up a page with two columns
1748 separated by an 18 point gutter, you'd do
1749 <p>
1750 <pre>
1751 .COLUMNS 2 18p
1752 </pre>
1754 Nothing to it, really. However, as noted above,
1755 <strong>COLUMNS</strong> should always be the last document
1756 setup macro prior to
1758 <p>
1759 <strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>Mom</strong> ignores columns completely
1760 when the
1762 is <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>. The notion of typewriter-style
1763 output in columns is just too ghastly for her to bear.
1766 <h3><u>Breaking columns manually</u></h3>
1767 <p>
1768 <strong>Mom</strong> takes care of breaking columns when they reach
1769 the bottom margin of a page. However, there may be times you want to
1770 break the columns yourself. There are two macros for breaking columns
1771 manually: <strong>COL_NEXT</strong> and <strong>COL_BREAK</strong>.
1774 <p>
1775 <kbd>.COL_NEXT</kbd> breaks the line just before it,
1777 it left (assuming the type is justified or quad left), and moves over
1778 to the top of the next column. If the column happens to be the last
1779 (rightmost) one on the page, <strong>mom</strong> starts a new page
1780 at the "column 1" position. This is the macro to use when
1781 you want to start a new column after the end of a paragraph.
1784 <p>
1785 <kbd>.COL_BREAK</kbd> is almost the same, except that
1786 instead of breaking and quadding the line preceding it,
1787 she breaks and spreads it (see
1789 Use this macro whenever you need to start a new column in the middle
1790 of a paragraph.
1791 <p>
1792 If you need <strong>COL_BREAK</strong> in the middle of a blockquote
1793 or (god help us) an epigraph, you must do the following in order for
1794 <strong>COL_BREAK</strong> to work:
1795 <p>
1796 <pre>
1797 .SPREAD
1798 \!.COL_BREAK

1805 <h2><u>Start document processing</u></h2>
1806 </a>
1808 In order to use <strong>mom</strong>'s document element macros
1809 (tags), you have to tell her you want them. The macro to do this
1810 is <strong>START</strong>.
1811 <p>
1812 <strong>START</strong> collects the information you gave
1813 <strong>mom</strong> in the setup section at the top of your file (see
1815 merges it with her defaults, sets up headers and page numbering,
1816 and prepares <strong>mom</strong> to process your document using
1817 the document element tags. No document processing takes place until
1818 you invoke <strong>START</strong>.

1826 Macro: <strong>START</strong>
1827 <br>
1828 <em>*Required for document processing.</em>
1830 <p>
1831 <strong>START</strong> takes no arguments. It simply instructs
1832 <strong>mom</strong> to begin document processing. If you don't
1833 want document processing (i.e. you only want the
1835 don't use <strong>START</strong>.
1836 <p>
1837 At a barest minimum before <strong>START</strong>, you must enter a
1839 command.

1846 <h2><u>Changing document-wide style parameters after START</u></h2>
1847 </a>
1849 In the normal course of things, you change the basic type
1850 parameters of a document <em>before</em>
1852 using
1854 (<strong>L_MARGIN, FAMILY, PT_SIZE, LS,</strong> etc). After
1855 <strong>START</strong>, you must use the following macros to make
1856 global changes to the basic type parameters of a document.
