GROFF_MM(7)	       Miscellaneous Information Manual		   GROFF_MM(7)

NAME
       groff_mm	- groff	mm macros

SYNOPSIS
       groff -mm [ options...  ] [ files...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  groff  mm  macros  are  intended  to be compatible with the	DWB mm
       macros with the following limitations:

             no Bell Labs localisms implemented.

             the macros OK and	PM are not implemented.

             groff mm does not	support	cut marks

       mm is intended to be international.  Therefore it is possible to	 write
       short  national	macrofiles  which  change all english text to the pre-
       ferred language.	 Use mmse as an	example.

       A file called locale or lang_locale is read after the initiation	of the
       global variables.  It is	therefore possible to localize the macros with
       companyname and so on.

       In this manual square brackets is used to show optional arguments.

       Number registers	and strings
       Many macros can be controlled by	number registers and strings.  A  num-
       ber register is assigned	with the nr command:
       .nr XXX [+-]n [i]
       XXX  is	the name of the	register, n is the value to be assigned, and i
       is increment value for auto-increment.  n can have a plus or minus sign
       as prefix if an increment or decrement of the current value is  wanted.
       (Auto-increment or decrement occurs if the number register is used with
       a plus or minus sign, \n+[XXX] or \n-[XXX].)

       Strings is defined with ds.
       .ds YYY string
       The  string is assigned everything to the end of	the line, even blanks.
       Initial blanks in  string  should  be  prefixed	with  a	 double-quote.
       (Strings	are used in the	text as	\*[YYY].)

       Special formatting of number registers
       A  number  register is printed with normal digits if no format has been
       given.  Set the format with af:
       .af R c
       R is the	name of	the register, c	is the format.
       Form Sequence
       1    0, 1, 2, 3,	...
       001  000, 001, 002, 003,	...
       i    0, i, ii, iii, iv, ...
       I    0, I, II, III, IV, ...
       a    0, a, b, c,	..., z,	aa, ab,	...
       A    0, A, B, C,	..., Z,	AA, AB,	...

       Macros:

       )E level	text
	      Adds text	(heading-text) to the table of contents	with level ei-
	      ther 0 or	between	1-7.  See also .H.  This  macro	 is  used  for
	      customized table of contents.

       1C [1] Begin  one  column  processing.	An  1 as argument disables the
	      page-break.  Use wide footnotes, small footnotes	may  be	 over-
	      printed.

       2C     Begin  two  column  processing.  Splits the page in two columns.
	      It is a special case of MC.  See also 1C.

       AE     Abstract end, see	AS.

       AF [name	of firm]
	      Authors firm, should be called before AU,	see also COVER.

       AL [type	[text-indent [1]]]
	      Start autoincrement list.	 Items are numbered beginning on  one.
	      The type argument	controls the type of numbers.
	      Arg  Description
	      1	   Arabic (the default)
	      A	   Upper-case letters (A-Z)
	      a	   Lower-case letters (a-z)
	      I	   Upper-case roman
	      i	   Lower-case roman
	      Text-indent  sets	the indent and overrides Li.  A	third argument
	      will prohibit printing of	a blank	line before each item.

       APP name	text
	      Begin an appendix	with name name.	 Automatic  naming  occurs  if
	      name  is	"".  The appendixes starts with	A if auto is used.  An
	      new page is ejected, and a header	is also	produced if the	number
	      variable Aph is non-zero.	 This is the  default.	 The  appendix
	      always appear in the 'List of contents' with correct pagenumber.
	      The  name	 APPENDIX  can be changed by setting the string	App to
	      the desired text.	 The string Apptxt contains the	current	appen-
	      dix text.

       APPSK name pages	text
	      Same as .APP, but	the pagenr is incremented with pages.  This is
	      used when	diagrams or other non-formatted	documents are included
	      as appendixes.

       AS [arg [indent]]
	      Abstract start.  Indent is specified in 'ens',  but  scaling  is
	      allowed.	Argument arg controls where the	abstract is printed.
	      Arg  Placement
	      0	   Abstract  will  be printed on page 1	and on the cover sheet
		   if used in the released-paper style (MT  4),	 otherwise  it
		   will	be printed on page 1 without a cover sheet.
	      1	   Abstract  will  only	 be  printed  on the cover sheet (MT 4
		   only).
	      2	   Abstract will be printed only on  the  cover	 sheet	(other
		   than	 MT  4 only).  The cover sheet is printed without need
		   for CS.
	      Abstract is not printed at all in	external letters (MT 5).   The
	      indent  controls the indentation of both margins,	otherwise will
	      normal text indent be used.

       AST [title]
	      Abstract title.  Default is ABSTRACT.  Sets the text  above  the
	      abstract text.

       AT title1 [title2 ...]
	      Authors  title.	AT  must appear	just after each	AU.  The title
	      will show	up after the name in the signature block.

       AU [name	[initials [loc [dept [ext [room	[arg [arg [arg]]]]]]]]]
	      Author information, specifies the	author of the memo  or	paper,
	      and  will	 be  printed  on  the cover sheet and on other similar
	      places.  AU must not appear before TL.  The  author  information
	      can contain initials, location, department, telephone extension,
	      room number or name and up to three extra	arguments.

       AV [name	[1]]
	      Approval	signature,  generates  an approval line	with place for
	      signature	and date.  The string APPROVED:	can  be	 changed  with
	      variable Letapp, and the string Date in Letdate.

       AVL [name]
	      Letter signature,	generates a line with place for	signature.

       B [bold-text [prev-font-text [bold...]]]
	      Begin boldface.  No limit	on the number of arguments.  All argu-
	      ments  will be concatenated to one word, the first, third	and so
	      on will be printed in boldface.

       B1     Begin box	(as the	ms macro).  Draws a box	around the text.   The
	      text  will  be indented one character, and the right margin will
	      be one character shorter.

       B2     End box.	Finish the box started by B1.

       BE     End bottom block,	see BS.

       BI [bold-text [italic-text [bold-text [...]]]]
	      Bold-italic.  No limit on	the number of arguments, see B.

       BL [text-indent [1]]
	      Start bullet list, initialize a list with	a bullet and  a	 space
	      in  the beginning	of each	list item (see LI).  Text-indent over-
	      rides the	default	indentation of the list	items  set  by	number
	      register Pi.  A third argument will prohibit printing of a blank
	      line before each item.

       BR [bold-text [roman-text [bold-text [...]]]]
	      Bold-roman.  No limit on the number of arguments.

       BS     Bottom block start.  Begins the definition of a text block which
	      is printed at the	bottom of each page.  Block ends with BE.

       BVL text-indent [mark-indent [1]]
	      Start  of	 broken	variable-item list.  Broken variable-item list
	      has no fixed mark, it assumes that every LI has a	mark  instead.
	      The  text	 will  always  begin  at the next line after the mark.
	      Text-indent sets the indent to the  text,	 and  mark-indent  the
	      distance	from the current indent	to the mark.  A	third argument
	      will prohibit printing of	a blank	line before each item.

       COVER [arg]
	      COVER begins a coversheet	 definition.   It  is  important  that
	      .COVER appears before any	normal text.  .COVER uses arg to build
	      the    filename	/usr/local/share/groff/1.18.1/tmac/mm/arg.cov.
	      Therefore	it is possible to create  unlimited  types  of	cover-
	      sheets.	ms.cov	is  supposed  to  look like the	ms coversheet.
	      .COVER requires a	.COVEND	at the	end  of	 the  coverdefinition.
	      Always use this order of the covermacros:
	      .COVER
	      .TL
	      .AF
	      .AU
	      .AT
	      .AS
	      .AE
	      .COVEND
	      However, only .TL	and .AU	are required.

       COVEND This finish the cover description	and prints the cover-page.  It
	      is defined in the	cover file.

       DE     Display end.  Ends a block of text, display, that	begins with DS
	      or DF.

       DF [format [fill	[rindent]]]
	      Begin floating display (no nesting allowed).  A floating display
	      is  saved	 in a queue and	is printed in the order	entered.  For-
	      mat, fill	and rindent is the same	as in DS.   Floating  displays
	      are controlled by	the two	number registers De and	Df.

	      De register
	      0	   Nothing special, this is the	default.
	      1	   A  page eject will occur after each printed display,	giving
		   only	one display per	page and no text following it.

	      Df register
	      0	   Displays are	printed	at the end of each section (when  sec-
		   tion-page  numbering	 is active) or at the end of the docu-
		   ment.
	      1	   A new display will be printed on the	current	page if	 there
		   is enough space, otherwise it will be printed at the	end of
		   the document.
	      2	   One display will be printed at the top of each page or col-
		   umn (in multi-column	mode).
	      3	   Print  one  display if there	is enough space	for it,	other-
		   wise	it will	be printed at the top of the next page or col-
		   umn.
	      4	   Print as many displays that will fit	in a new page or  col-
		   umn.	 A page	break will occur between each display if De is
		   not zero.
	      5	   Fill	 the current page with displays	and the	rest beginning
		   at a	new page or column.  (This is the  default.)   A  page
		   break will occur between each display if De is not zero.

       DL [text-indent [1 [1]]]
	      Dash list	start.	Begins a list where each item is printed after
	      a	dash.  Text-indent changes the default indentation of the list
	      items set	by number register Pi.	A second argument prevents the
	      empty  line  between  each  list item to be printed.  See	LI.  A
	      third argument will prohibit printing of	a  blank  line	before
	      each item.

       DS [format [fill	[rindent]]]
	      Static  display start.  Begins collection	of text	until DE.  The
	      text is printed together on the same page, unless	it  is	longer
	      than  the	 height	 of the	page.  DS can be nested	to a unlimited
	      depth (reasonably	:-).

	      format
	      ""   No indentation.
	      none No indentation.
	      L	   No indentation.
	      I	   Indent text with the	value of number	register Si.
	      C	   Center each line
	      CB   Center the whole display as a block.
	      R	   Right adjust	the lines.
	      RB   Right adjust	the whole display as a block

	      L, I, C and CB can also be specified as 0, 1, 2 or 3 for compat-
	      ibility reasons.	(Don't use it. :-)

	      fill
	      ""   Line-filling	turned off.
	      none Line-filling	turned off.
	      N	   Line-filling	turned off.
	      F	   Line-filling	turned on.

	      N	and F can also be specified as 0 or 1.	 An  empty  line  will
	      normally	be printed before and after the	display.  Setting num-
	      ber register Ds to 0 will	prevent	this.	Rindent	 shortens  the
	      line length by that amount.

       EC [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
	      Equation title.  Sets a title for	an equation.  The override ar-
	      gument change the	numbering.

	      flag
	      none
		   override is a prefix	to the number.
	      0	   override is a prefix	to the number.
	      1	   override is a suffix	to the number.
	      2	   override replaces the number.
	      EC  uses	the  number register Ec	as counter.  It	is possible to
	      use .af to change	the format of the number.  If number  register
	      Of  is  1, then the format of title will use a dash instead of a
	      dot after	the number.
	      The string Le controls the title of the List of  Equations,  de-
	      fault  is	LIST OF	EQUATIONS.  The	List of	Equations will only be
	      printed if number	register Le is 1, default 0.  The string  Liec
	      contains	the  word Equation, wich is printed before the number.
	      If refname is used, then	the  equation  number  is  saved  with
	      .SETR, and can be	retrieved with .GETST refname.
	      Special  handling	 of  the title will occur if EC	is used	inside
	      DS/DE, it	will not be affected by	the format of DS.

       EF [arg]
	      Even-page	footer,	printed	just above the normal page  footer  on
	      even pages, see PF.

       EH [arg]
	      Even-page	 header,  printed just below the normal	page header on
	      even pages, see PH.

       EN     Equation end, see	EQ.

       EOP    End of page user-defined macro.  This macro will be  called  in-
	      stead  of	 the normal printing of	the footer.  The macro will be
	      executed in a separate environment,  without  any	 trap  active.
	      See TP.

	      Strings available	to EOP
	      EOPf Argument from PF.
	      EOPefArgument from EF.
	      EOPofArgument from OF.

       EPIC [-L] width height [name]
	      EPIC  draws  a box with the given	width and height, it will also
	      print the	text name or a default string if name  is  not	speci-
	      fied..  This is used to include external pictures, just give the
	      size  of	the  picture.  -L will leftadjust the picture, the de-
	      fault is to center adjust.  See PIC

       EQ [label]
	      Equation start.  EQ/EN are the delimiters	for equations  written
	      for  eqn.	  EQ/EN	must be	inside a DS/DE-pair, except when EQ is
	      only used	to set options in eqn.	The label will appear  at  the
	      right  margin  of	 the equation, unless number register Eq is 1.
	      Then the label will appear at the	left margin.

       EX [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
	      Exhibit title, arguments are the same as for EC.	 EX  uses  the
	      number register Ex as counter.  The string Lx controls the title
	      of  the List of Exhibits,	default	is LIST	OF EXHIBITS.  The List
	      of Exhibits will only be printed if number register Lx is	1, de-
	      fault 1.	The string Liex	contains the word  Exhibit,  which  is
	      printed before the number.  If refname is	used, then the exhibit
	      number  is  saved	 with  .SETR, and can be retrieved with	.GETST
	      refname.
	      Special handling of the title will occur if EX  is  used	inside
	      DS/DE, it	will not be affected by	the format of DS.

       FC [closing]
	      Prints Yours very	truly, as a formal closing of a	letter or mem-
	      orandum.	The argument replaces the defualt string.  The default
	      is stored	in string variable Letfc.

       FD [arg [1]]
	      Footnote	default	 format.   Controls  the hyphenation (hyphen),
	      right margin justification  (adjust),  indentation  of  footnote
	      text  (indent).	It  can	 also  change  the label justification
	      (ljust).

	      arg  hyphen  adjust  indent  ljust
	      0	   no	   yes	   yes	   left
	      1	   yes	   yes	   yes	   left
	      2	   no	   no	   yes	   left
	      3	   yes	   no	   yes	   left
	      4	   no	   yes	   no	   left
	      5	   yes	   yes	   no	   left
	      6	   no	   no	   no	   left
	      7	   yes	   no	   no	   left
	      8	   no	   yes	   yes	   right
	      9	   yes	   yes	   yes	   right
	      10   no	   no	   yes	   right
	      11   yes	   no	   yes	   right

	      Argument greater than or equal to	11 is  considered  as  arg  0.
	      Default for mm is	10.

       FE     Footnote end.

       FG [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
	      Figure  title,  arguments	 are  the same as for EC.  FG uses the
	      number register Fg as counter.  The string Lf controls the title
	      of the List of Figures, default is LIST OF FIGURES.  The List of
	      Figures will only	be printed if number register Lf is 1, default
	      1.  The string Lifg contains the word Figure,  wich  is  printed
	      before  the  number.  If refname is used,	then the figure	number
	      is saved with .SETR, and can be retrieved	with .GETST refname.
	      Special handling of the title will occur if FG  is  used	inside
	      DS/DE, it	will not be affected by	the format of DS.

       FS [label]
	      Footnote start.  The footnote is ended by	FE.  Footnotes is nor-
	      mally  automatically numbered, the number	is available in	string
	      F.  Just add \*F in the text.  By	adding label, it  is  possible
	      to  have	other  number or names on the footnotes.  Footnotes in
	      displays is now possible.	 An empty  line	 separates  footnotes,
	      the  height of the line is controlled by number register Fs, de-
	      fault value is 1.

       GETHN refname [varname]
	      Includes the headernumber	where the corresponding	 SETR  refname
	      was  placed.   Will be X.X.X. in pass 1.	See INITR.  If varname
	      is used, GETHN sets the stringvariable varname to	the headernum-
	      ber.

       GETPN refname [varname]
	      Includes the pagenumber where the	corresponding SETR refname was
	      placed.  Will be 9999 in pass 1.	 See  INITR.   If  varname  is
	      used, GETPN sets the stringvariable varname to the pagenumber.

       GETR refname
	      Combines	GETHN  and GETPN with the text 'chapter' and ',	page'.
	      The string Qrf contains the text for reference:
		   .ds Qrf See chapter \\*[Qrfh], page \\*[Qrfp].
	      Qrf may be changed to support other languages.  Strings Qrfh and
	      Qrfp are set by GETR and contains	the page and headernumber.

       GETST refname [varname]
	      Includes the string saved	with the  second  argument  to	.SETR.
	      Will  be	dummystring in pass 1.	If varname is used, GETST sets
	      the stringvariable varname to the	saved string.  See INITR.

       H level [heading-text [heading-suffix]]
	      Numbered section heading.	 Section headers can have a level  be-
	      tween  1	and 7, level 1 is the top level.  The text is given in
	      heading-text, and	must be	surrounded by double quotes if it con-
	      tains spaces.  Heading-suffix is added to	the header in the text
	      but not in the table of contents.	 This  is  normally  used  for
	      footnote	marks  and  similar things.  Don't use \*F in heading-
	      suffix, it won't work.  A	manual label must be used, see FS.

	      An eventual paragraph, P,	directly after H will be ignored, H is
	      taking care of spacing and indentation.

	      Page ejection before heading
	      Number register Ej controls page ejection	 before	 the  heading.
	      Normally,	 a  level  one heading gets two	blank lines before it,
	      higher levels gets only one.  A new page is ejected before  each
	      first-level  heading if number register Ej is 1.	All levels be-
	      low or equal the value of	Ej gets	a new page.  Default value for
	      Ej is 0.

	      Heading break level
	      A	line break occurs after	the heading if the  heading  level  is
	      less or equal to number register Hb.  Default value 2.

	      Heading space level
	      A	 blank line is inserted	after the heading if the heading level
	      is less or equal to number register Hs.  Default value 2.

	      Text will	follow the heading on the same line if	the  level  is
	      greater than both	Hb and Hs.

	      Post-heading indent
	      Indentation  of the text after the heading is controlled by num-
	      ber register Hi, default value 0.

	      Hi
	      0	   The text will be left-justified.
	      1	   Indentation of the text will	follow	the  value  of	number
		   register Pt,	see P.
	      2	   The	text will be lined up with the first word of the head-
		   ing.

	      Centered section headings
	      All headings whose level is equal	or below  number  register  Hc
	      and also less than or equal to Hb	or Hs is centerered.

	      Font control of the heading
	      The  font	 of each heading level is controlled by	string HF.  It
	      contains a fontnumber or fontname	for each  level.   Default  is
	      2	2 2 2 2	2 2  (all  headings in italic).	 Could also be written
	      as I I I I I I I.	 Note  that  some  other  implementations  use
	      3	3 2 2 2	2 2 as the default value.  All omitted values are pre-
	      sumed to be a 1.

	      Point size control.
	      String  HP  controls  the	pointsize of each heading, in the same
	      way as HF	controls the font.  A value of 0 selects  the  default
	      point  size.   Default value is 0	0 0 0 0	0 0.  Beware that only
	      the point	size changes, not the vertical size.  That can be con-
	      trolled by the user specified macro HX and/or HZ.

	      Heading counters
	      Seven number registers, named H1 thru H7	contains  the  counter
	      for each heading level.  The values are printed using arabic nu-
	      merals,  this can	be changed with	the macro HM (see below).  All
	      marks are	concatenated before printing.  To avoid	this, set num-
	      ber register Ht to 1.  That will only print the current  heading
	      counter at each heading.

	      Automatic	table of contents
	      All headings whose level is equal	or below number	register Cl is
	      saved  to	 be  printed  in the table of contents.	 Default value
	      is 2.

	      Special control of the heading, user-defined macros.
	      These macros can be defined by the user to get a	finer  control
	      of vertical spacing, fonts or other features.  Argument level is
	      the level-argument to H, but 0 for unnumbered headings (see HU).
	      Argument	rlevel is the real level, it is	set to number register
	      Hu for unnumbered	headings.  Argument heading-text is  the  text
	      argument to H and	HU.

	      HX level rlevel heading-text
	      HX  is called just before	the printing of	the heading.  The fol-
	      lowing register is available for HX.  HX may alter  }0,  }2  and
	      ;3.
	      string }0
		   Contains the	heading	mark plus two spaces if	rlevel is non-
		   zero, otherwise empty.
	      register ;0
		   Contains  the  position  of	the text after the heading.  0
		   means that the text should follow the heading on  the  same
		   line,  1  means  that  a line break should occur before the
		   text	and 2 means that a  blank  line	 should	 separate  the
		   heading and the text.
	      string }2
		   Contains  two  spaces  if  register ;0 is 0.	 It is used to
		   separate the	heading	from the text.	The string is empty if
		   ;0 is non-zero.
	      register ;3
		   Contains the	needed space in	units after the	heading.   De-
		   fault is 2v.

		   Can	be used	to change things like numbering	(}0), vertical
		   spacing (}2)	and the	needed space after the heading.

	      HY dlevel	rlevel heading-text
	      HY is called after size and font calculations and	might be  used
	      to change	indentation.

	      HZ dlevel	rlevel heading-text
	      HZ is called after the printing of the heading, just before H or
	      HU  exits.  Could	be used	to change the page header according to
	      the section heading.

       HC [hyphenation-character]
	      Set hyphenation character.  Default value	is \%.	Resets to  the
	      default  if  called without argument.  Hyphenation can be	turned
	      off by setting number register Hy	to 0 in	the beginning  of  the
	      file.

       HM [arg1	[arg2 [... [arg7]]]]
	      Heading  mark  style.  Controls the type of marking for printing
	      of the heading counters.	Default	is 1 for all levels.

	      Argument
	      1	   Arabic numerals.
	      0001 Arabic numerals with	leading	zeroes,	one or more.
	      A	   Upper-case alphabetic
	      a	   Lower-case alphabetic
	      I	   Upper-case roman numerals
	      i	   lower-case roman numerals
	      emptyArabic numerals.

       HU heading-text
	      Unnumbered section header.  HU behavies like H at	the  level  in
	      number register Hu.  See H.

       HX dlevel rlevel	heading-text
	      Userdefined  heading  exit.   Called  just  before  printing the
	      header.  See H.

       HY dlevel rlevel	heading-text
	      Userdefined heading  exit.   Called  just	 before	 printing  the
	      header.  See H.

       HZ dlevel rlevel	heading-text
	      Userdefined  heading  exit.   Called  just  after	 printing  the
	      header.  See H.

       I [italic-text [prev-font-text [italic-text [...]]]]
	      Italic.  Changes the font	to italic if called without arguments.
	      With one argument	it will	set the	word in	italic.	 With two  ar-
	      gument it	will concatenate them and set the first	word in	italic
	      and  the	second in the previous font.  There is no limit	on the
	      number of	argument, all will be concatenated.

       IA [addressee-name [title]]
	      Begins specification of the addressee and	addressee's address in
	      letter style.  Several names can be specified with empty	IA/IE-
	      pairs, but only one address.  See	LT.

       IB [italic-text [bold-text [italic-text [...]]]]
	      Italic-bold.   Even arguments is printed in italic, odd in bold-
	      face.  See I.

       IE     Ends the address-specification after IA.

       INITI type filename [macro]
	      Initialize the new index system, sets the	 filename  to  collect
	      index  lines in with IND.	 Argument type selects the type	of in-
	      dex, page	number,	header marks or	both.  The default is N.

	      It is also possible to create a macro that  is  responsible  for
	      formatting  each	row.  Add the name of the macro	as argument 3.
	      The macro	will be	called with the	index as argument(s).

	      type
	      N	   Page	numbers
	      H	   Header marks
	      B	   Both	page numbers and header	marks, tab separated

       INITR filename
	      Initialize the refencemacros.  References	 will  be  written  to
	      stderr  and is supposed to be written to filename.qrf.  Requires
	      two passes with groff, this is handled  by  a  separate  program
	      called mmroff, the reason	is that	groff is often installed with-
	      out  the unsafe operations that INITR requiered.	The first pass
	      looks for	references and the second one  includes	 them.	 INITR
	      can  be  used several times, but it is only the first occurrence
	      of INITR that is active.

	      See also SETR, GETPN and GETHN.

       IND arg1	[arg2 [...]]
	      IND writes a line	in the index file selected by INITI  with  all
	      arguments	and the	page number or header mark separated by	tabs.
		   Examples
		   arg1\tpage number
		   arg1\targ2\tpage number
		   arg1\theader	mark
		   arg1\tpage number\theader mark

       INDP   INDP prints the index by running the command specified by	string
	      variable Indcmd, normally	sort -t\t.  INDP reads the output from
	      the  command  to form the	index, normally	in two columns (can be
	      changed by defining TYIND).  The index is	 printed  with	string
	      variable Index as	header,	default	is INDEX.  One-column process-
	      ing is returned after the	list.  INDP will call the user-defined
	      macros  TXIND,  TYIND and	TZIND if defined.  TXIND is called be-
	      fore printing INDEX, TYIND is called instead of printing	INDEX.
	      TZIND  is	 called	 after	the  printing  and should take care of
	      restoring	to normal operation again.

       ISODATE [0]
	      ISODATE changes the predefined date string in DT to  ISO-format,
	      ie  YYYY-MM-DD.	This can also be done by adding	-rIso=1	on the
	      command line.  Reverts to	old date format	if argument is 0.

       IR [italic-text [roman-text [italic-text	[...]]]]
	      Italic-roman.  Even arguments is printed in italic, odd  in  ro-
	      man.  See	I.

       LB text-indent mark-indent pad type [mark [LI-space [LB-space]]]
	      List  begin macro.  This is the common macro used	for all	lists.
	      Text-indent is the number	of spaces to indent the	text from  the
	      current indent.

	      Pad and mark-indent controls where to put	the mark.  The mark is
	      placed  within the mark area, and	mark-indent sets the number of
	      spaces before this area.	It is normally 0.  The mark area  ends
	      where  the  text	begins.	  The  start of	the text is still con-
	      trolled by text-indent.

	      The mark is left justified whitin	the mark area if pad is	0.  If
	      pad is greater than 0, then mark-indent is ignored, and the mark
	      is placed	pad spaces before the text.  This will	right  justify
	      the mark.

	      If  type	is 0 the list will have	either a hanging indent	or, if
	      argument mark is given, the string mark as mark.

	      If type is greater than 0	automatic numbering will occur,	arabic
	      if mark is empty.	 Mark can then be any of 1, A, a, I or i.

	      Type selects one of six possible ways to display the mark.
	      type
	       1    x.
	       2    x)
	       3    (x)
	       4    [x]
	       5    <x>
	       6    {x}

	      Every item in the	list will get LI-space number of  blank	 lines
	      before them.  Default is 1.

	      LB itself	will print LB-space blank lines.  Default is 0.

       LC [list-level]
	      List-status  clear.  Terminates all current active lists down to
	      list-level, or 0 if no argmuent is given.	 This is used by H  to
	      clear any	active list.

       LE [1] List  end.  Terminate the	current	list.  LE outputs a blank line
	      if an argument is	given.

       LI [mark	[1]]
	      List item	precedes every item in a list.	 Without  argument  LI
	      will  print  the	mark  determined by the	current	list type.  By
	      giving LI	one argument, it will use that as  the	mark  instead.
	      Two arguments to LI will make mark a prefix to the current mark.
	      There  will  be  no  separating space between the	prefix and the
	      mark if the second argument is 2 instead of 1.   This  behaviour
	      can  also	 be achieved by	setting	number register	Limsp to zero.
	      A	zero length mark will make a hanging indent instead.

	      A	blank line is normally printed before the list item.  This be-
	      haviour can be controlled	by number  register  Ls.   Pre-spacing
	      will  occur  for	each list-level	less than or equal to Ls.  De-
	      fault value is 99.  (Nesting of lists is unlimited. :-)

	      The indentation can be changed thru number register Li.  Default
	      is 6.

	      All lists	begins with a list initialization  macro,  LB.	 There
	      are, however, seven predefined listtypes to make lists easier to
	      use.  They all call LB with different default values.
	      AL   Automatically Incremented List
	      ML   Marked List
	      VL   Variable-Item List
	      BL   Bullet List
	      DL   Dash	List
	      RL   Reference List
	      BVL
		   Broken Varable List.
	      These  lists  are	described at other places in this manual.  See
	      also LB.

       LT [arg]
	      Formats a	letter in one of four different	 styles	 depending  on
	      the argument.  See also INTERNALS.
	      Arg  Style
	      BL   Blocked.   Date  line, return address, writer's address and
		   closing begins at the center	of the line.  All other	 lines
		   begin at the	left margin.
	      SB   Semi-blocked.   Same	as blocked, except that	the first line
		   in every paragraph is indented five spaces.
	      FB   Full-blocked.  All lines begin at the left margin.
	      SP   Simplified.	Almost the same	 as  the  full-blocked	style.
		   Subject and the writer's identification are printed in all-
		   capital.

       LO type [arg]
	      Specify  options	in  letter  (see  .LT).	 This is a list	of the
	      standard options:
	      CN   Confidential	notation.  Prints CONFIDENTIAL on  the	second
		   line	 below the date	line.  Any argument replaces CONFIDEN-
		   TIAL.  See also string variable LetCN.
	      RN   Reference notation.	Prints In reference to:	and the	 argu-
		   ment	 two lines below the date line.	 See also string vari-
		   able	LetRN.
	      AT   Attention.  Prints ATTENTION: and the  argument  below  the
		   inside address.  See	also string variable LetAT.
	      SA   Salutation.	Prints To Whom It May Concern: or the argument
		   if it was present.  The salutation is printed two lines be-
		   low the inside address.  See	also string variable LetSA.
	      SJ   Subject line.  Prints the argument as subject prefixed with
		   SUBJECT: two	lines below the	inside address,	except in let-
		   ter	type  SP.   Then the subject is	printed	in all-captial
		   without any prefix.	See also string	variable LetSJ.

       MC column-size [column-separation]
	      Begin multiple columns.  Return to normal	with 1C.  MC will cre-
	      ate as many columns as the current line length permits.  Column-
	      size is the width	of each	column,	and column-separation  is  the
	      space  between  two  columns.  Default separation	is the column-
	      size/15.	See also 1C.

       ML mark [text-indent [1]]
	      Marked list start.  The mark argument  will  be  printed	before
	      each  list  item.	 Text-indent sets the indent and overrides Li.
	      A	third argument will prohibit printing of a blank  line	before
	      each item.

       MT [arg [addressee]]
	      Memorandum  type.	  The  arg  is	part of	a filename in /usr/lo-
	      cal/share/groff/1.18.1/tmac/mm/*.MT.  Memorandum type 0  thru  5
	      are  supported, including	"string".  Addressee just sets a vari-
	      able, used in the	AT&T macros.
	      arg
	      0	   Normal memorandum, no type printed
	      1	   Memorandum with MEMORANDUM FOR FILE printed
	      2	   Memorandum with PROGRAMMER'S	NOTES printed
	      3	   Memorandum with ENGINEER'S NOTES printed
	      4	   Released paper style
	      5	   External letter style
	      See also COVER/COVEND, a more flexible type of front page.

       MOVE y-pos [x-pos [line-length]]
	      Move to a	position, pageoffset set to x-pos.  If line-length  is
	      not  given, the difference between current and new pageoffset is
	      used.  Use PGFORM	without	arguments to return to normal.

       MULB cw1	space1 [cw2 space2 [cw3	...]]
	      Begin a special multi-column mode.  Every	columns	width must  be
	      specified.   Also	 the  space between the	columns	must be	speci-
	      fied.  The last column does not need any space-definition.  MULB
	      starts a diversion and MULE ends the diversion  and  prints  the
	      columns.	 The unit for width and	space is 'n', but MULB accepts
	      all normal unitspecifications like 'c' and 'i'.	MULB  operates
	      in a separate environment.

       MULN   Begin the	next column.  This is the only way to switch column.

       MULE   End the multi-column mode	and print the columns.

       nP [type]
	      Print numbered paragraph with header level two.  See .P.

       NCOL   Force  printing to the next column, don't	use this together with
	      the MUL* macros, see 2C.

       NS [arg [1]]
	      Prints different types of	notations.  The	argument  selects  be-
	      tween  the predefined type of notations.	If the second argument
	      is available, then the argument becomes the entire notation.  If
	      the argument doesn't exist in the	predefined, it will be printed
	      as Copy (arg) to.	 It is possible	to  add	 more  standard	 nota-
	      tions, see the string variable Letns and Letnsdef.

       ND new-date
	      New  date.   Override  the current date.	Date is	not printed if
	      new-date is an empty string.

       OF [arg]
	      Odd-page footer, a line printed just above  the  normal  footer.
	      See EF and PF.

       OH [arg]
	      Odd-page	header,	 a  line printed just below the	normal header.
	      See EH and PH.

       OP     Make sure	that the following text	is printed at the  top	of  an
	      odd-numbered  page.   Will not output an empty page if currently
	      at the top of an odd page.

       P [type]
	      Begin new	paragraph.  P without argument will produce left  jus-
	      tified  text, even the first line	of the paragraph.  This	is the
	      same as setting type to 0.  If the argument is 1,	then the first
	      line of text following P will  be	 indented  by  the  number  of
	      spaces in	number register	Pi, normally 5.

	      Instead  of  giving 1 as argument	to P it	is possible to set the
	      paragraph	type in	number register	Pt.  Using 0 and 1 will	be the
	      same as adding that value	to P.  A value of 2  will  indent  all
	      paragraphs, except after headings, lists and displays.

	      The  space between two paragraphs	is controlled by number	regis-
	      ter Ps, and is 1 by default (one blank line).

       PGFORM [linelength [pagelength [pageoffset [1]]]]
	      Sets linelength, pagelength and/or pageoffset.  This  macro  can
	      be  used for special formatting, like letterheads	and other.  It
	      is normally the first command in a file, though it's not	neces-
	      sary.   PGFORM can be used without arguments to reset everything
	      after a MOVE.  A line-break is done unless the  fourth  argument
	      is given.	 This can be used to avoid the pagenumber on the first
	      page  while  setting new width and length.  (It seems as if this
	      macro sometimes doesn't work too well.  Use the command line ar-
	      guments to change	linelength, pagelength and pageoffset instead.
	      Sorry.)

       PGNH   No header	is printed on the next page.  Used to get rid  of  the
	      header  in  letters  or other special texts.  This macro must be
	      used before any text to inhibit  the  pageheader	on  the	 first
	      page.

       PIC [-L]	[-C] [-R] [-I n] filename [width [height]]
	      PIC  includes  a Postscript file in the document.	 The macro de-
	      pends on mmroff and INITR.  -L, -C, -R and -I n adjusts the pic-
	      ture or indents it.  The optionally width	and height can also be
	      given to resize the picture.

       PE     Picture end.  Ends a picture for pic, see	the manual for pic.

       PF [arg]
	      Page footer.  PF sets the	line to	be printed at  the  bottom  of
	      each  page.  Normally empty.  See	PH for the argument specifica-
	      tion.

       PH [arg]
	      Page header, a line printed at the top of	each page.  The	 argu-
	      ment   should  be	 specified  as	"'left-part'center-part'right-
	      part'", where left-, center- and right-part is printed left-jus-
	      tified, centered	and  right  justified.	 The  character	 %  is
	      changed  to the current page number.  The	default	page-header is
	      "''- % -''", the page number between two dashes.

       PS     Picture start (from pic).	 Begins	a picture  for	pic,  see  the
	      manual.

       PX     Page-header  user-defined	 exit.	 PX  is	 called	just after the
	      printing of the page header in no-space mode.

       R      Roman.  Return to	roman font, see	also I.

       RB [roman-text [bold-text [roman-text [...]]]]
	      Roman-bold.  Even	arguments is printed in	roman,	odd  in	 bold-
	      face.  See I.

       RD [prompt [diversion [string]]]
	      Read  from  standard input to diversion and/or string.  The text
	      will be saved in a diversion named diversion.  Recall  the  text
	      by  writing  the	name  of the diversion after a dot on an empty
	      line.  A string will also	be defined if string is	given.	Diver-
	      sion and/or prompt can be	empty ("").

       RF     Reference	end.  Ends a reference definition and returns to  nor-
	      mal processing.  See RS.

       RI [roman-text [italic-text [roman-text [...]]]]
	      Even arguments are printed in roman, odd in italic.  See I.

       RL [text-indent [1]]
	      Reference	list start.  Begins a list where each item is preceded
	      with a automatically incremented number between square brackets.
	      Text-indent changes the default indentation.

       RP [arg1	[arg2]]
	      Produce  reference  page.	 RP can	be used	if a reference page is
	      wanted somewhere in the document.	 It is not  needed  if	TC  is
	      used  to	produce	 a  table of content.  The reference page will
	      then be printed automatically.

	      The reference counter will not be	reset if arg1 is 1.

	      Arg2 tells RP whether to eject a page or not.
	      Arg2
	      0	   The reference page will be  printed	on  a  separate	 page.
		   This	is the default.
	      1	   Do not eject	page after the list.
	      2	   Do not eject	page before the	list.
	      3	   Do not eject	page before and	after the list.
	      The  reference items will	be separated by	a blank	line.  Setting
	      number register Ls to 0 will suppress the	line.

	      The string Rp contains the reference page	title and is  normally
	      set to REFERENCES.

       RS [string-name]
	      RS  begins  an automatically numbered reference definition.  Put
	      the string \*(Rf where the reference mark	should	be  and	 write
	      the reference between RS/RF at next new line after the reference
	      mark.  The reference number is stored in number register :R.  If
	      string-name  is  given,  a string	with that name will be defined
	      and contain the current reference	mark.  The string can be  ref-
	      erenced as \*[string-name] later in the text.

       S [size [spacing]]
	      Set  point  size and vertical spacing.  If any argument is equal
	      'P', then	the previous value  is	used.	A  'C'	means  current
	      value,  and 'D' default value.  If '+' or	'-' is used before the
	      value, then increment or decrement of the	current	value will  be
	      done.

       SA [arg]
	      Set   right-margin  justification.   Justification  is  normally
	      turned on.  No argumenent	or 0  turns  off  justification,  a  1
	      turns on justification.

       SETR refname [string]
	      Remember	the  current header and	page-number as refname.	 Saves
	      string if	string is defined.  string is retrieved	 with  .GETST.
	      See INITR.

       SG [arg [1]]
	      Signature	 line.	 Prints	 the  authors name(s) after the	formal
	      closing.	The argument will be appended to the  reference	 data,
	      printed  at either the first or last author.  The	reference data
	      is the location, department and initials specified with .AU.  It
	      will be printed at the first author if the  second  argument  is
	      given, otherwise at the last.  No	reference data will be printed
	      if the author(s) is specifed thru	.WA/.WE.  See INTERNALS.

       SK [pages]
	      Skip  pages.   If	pages is 0 or omitted, a skip to the next page
	      will occur unless	it is already at the top of a page.  Otherwise
	      it will skip pages pages.

       SM string1 [string2 [string3]]
	      Make a string smaller.  If string2 is  given,  string1  will  be
	      smaller  and  string2  normal,  concatenated with	string1.  With
	      three argument, all is concatenated, but only  string2  is  made
	      smaller.

       SP [lines]
	      Space  vertically.  lines	can have any scalingfactor, like 3i or
	      8v.  Several SP in a line	will only produce the  maximum	number
	      of  lines, not the sum.  SP will also be ignored until the first
	      textline in a page.  Add a \& before SP to avoid this.

       TAB    reset tabs to every 5n.  Normally	used  to  reset	 any  previous
	      tabpositions.

       TB [title [override [flag [refname]]]]
	      Table title, arguments are the same as for EC.  TB uses the num-
	      ber register Tb as counter.  The string Lt controls the title of
	      the  List	of Tables, default is LIST OF TABLES.  The List	of Ta-
	      bles will	only be	printed	if number register Lt is 1, default 1.
	      The string Litb contains the word	TABLE, wich is printed	before
	      the number.
	      Special  handling	 of  the title will occur if TB	is used	inside
	      DS/DE, it	will not be affected by	the format of DS.

       TC [slevel [spacing [tlevel [tab	[h1 [h2	[h3 [h4	[h5]]]]]]]]]
	      Table of contents.  This macro is	normally used at the last line
	      of the document.	It generates a table of	contents with headings
	      up to the	level controlled by number register Cl.	 Note that  Cl
	      controls	the  saving of headings, it has	nothing	to do with TC.
	      Headings with level less than or equal to	slevel will get	 spac-
	      ing  number of lines before them.	 Headings with level less than
	      or equal to tlevel will have their page numbers right  justified
	      with  dots  or  spaces  separating the text and the page number.
	      Spaces is	used if	tab is	greater	 than  zero,  otherwise	 dots.
	      Other  headings will have	the page number	directly at the	end of
	      the heading text (ragged right).

	      The rest of the arguments	will be	printed, centered, before  the
	      table of contents.

	      The  user-defined	macros TX and TY are used if TC	is called with
	      at most four arguments.  TX is called  before  the  printing  of
	      CONTENTS,	and TY is called instead of printing CONTENTS.

	      Equivalent  macros  can  be defined for list of figures, tables,
	      equations	and excibits by	defining TXxx or TYxx, where xx	is Fg,
	      TB, EC or	EX.

	      String Ci	can be set to control the indentations for each	 head-
	      ing-level.   It must be scaled, like .ds Ci .25i .5i .75i	1i 1i.
	      The indentation is normally controlled by	the maxlength of head-
	      ings in each level.

	      All texts	can be	redefined,  new	 stringvariables  Lifg,	 Litb,
	      Liex,  Liec  and	Licon  contain	"Figure",  "TABLE", "Exhibit",
	      "Equation" and "CONTENTS".  These	can be redefined to other lan-
	      guages.

       TE     Table end.  See TS.

       TH [N] Table header.  See TS.  TH ends the header of the	 table.	  This
	      header will be printed again if a	page-break occurs.  Argument N
	      isn't implemented	yet.

       TL [charging-case number(s) [filing-case	number(s)]]
	      Begin  title  of	memorandum.  All text up to the	next AU	is in-
	      cluded in	the title.  Charging-case number and  filing-case  are
	      saved for	use in the front page processing.

       TM [num1	[num2 [...]]]
	      Technical	 memorandumnumbers  used  in .MT.  Unlimited number of
	      arguments	may be given.

       TP     Top of page user-defined macro.  This macro is called instead of
	      the normal page header.  It is possible to get complete  control
	      over  the	 header.   Note	that header and	footer is printed in a
	      separate environment.  Linelength	is preserved though.

       TS [H] Table start.  This is the	start of a table specification to tbl.
	      See separate manual for tbl.  TS ends with TE.  Argument H tells
	      mm that the table	has a header.  See TH.

       TX     Userdefined table	of contents exit.  This	macro is  called  just
	      before TC	prints the word	CONTENTS.  See TC.

       TY     Userdefined  table of contents exit (no "CONTENTS").  This macro
	      is called	instead	of printing CONTENTS.  See TC.

       VERBON [flag [pointsize [font]]]
	      Begin verbatim output using courier font.	 Usually for  printing
	      programs.	  All character	has equal width.  The pointsize	can be
	      changed with the second argument.	 By specifying the  font-argu-
	      ment  it	is  possible  to  use another font instead of courier.
	      flag controls several special features.  It contains the sum  of
	      all wanted features.
	      ValueDescription
	      1	   Disable  the	escape-character (\).  This is normally	turned
		   on during verbose output.
	      2	   Add an empty	line before the	verbose	text.
	      4	   Add an empty	line after the verbose text.
	      8	   Print the verbose text with numbered	lines.	This adds four
		   digitsized spaces in	the beginning  of  each	 line.	 Finer
		   control  is	available with the string-variable Verbnm.  It
		   contains all	arguments to the troff-command	.nm,  normally
		   '1'.
	      16   Indent  the	verbose	 text  with  five 'n':s.  This is con-
		   trolled by the number-variable Verbin (in units).

       VERBOFF
	      End verbatim output.

       VL text-indent [mark-indent [1]]
	      Variable-item list has no	fixed mark, it assumes that  every  LI
	      have  a  mark instead.  Text-indent sets the indent to the text,
	      and mark-indent the distance from	 the  current  indent  to  the
	      mark.   A	 third argument	will prohibit printing of a blank line
	      before each item.

       VM [-T] [top [bottom]]
	      Vertical margin. Adds extra vertical top and margin space.   Op-
	      tion  -T	set  the  total	space instead.	No argument resets the
	      margin to	zero or	the default (7v	5v) if	-T  was	 used.	It  is
	      higly  recommended that macro TP and/or EOP are defined if using
	      -T and setting top and/or	bottom margin to  less	than  the  de-
	      fault.

       WA [writer-name [title]]
	      Begins  specification  of	the writer and writer's	address.  Sev-
	      eral names can be	specified with empty WA/WE-pairs, but only one
	      address.

       WE     Ends the address-specification after .WA.

       WC [format]
	      Footnote and display width control.
	      N	   Set default mode, -WF, -FF, -WD and FB.
	      WF   Wide	footnotes, wide	also in	two-column mode.
	      -WF  Normal footnote width, follow column	mode.
	      FF   All footnotes gets the same width as	the first footnote en-
		   countered.
	      -FF  Normal footnotes, width follows WF and -WF.
	      WD   Wide	displays, wide also in two-column mode.
	      -WD  Normal display width, follow	column mode.
	      FB   Floating displays generates a line break  when  printed  on
		   the current page.
	      -FB  Floating displays does not generate line break.

       The letter macros is using different submacros depending	on the	letter
       type.   The  name of the	submacro has the letter	type as	suffix.	 It is
       therefore possible to define other letter types,	either in the national
       macro-file, or as local additions.  .LT will set	the  number  variables
       Pt and Pi to 0 and 5.  The following strings and	macros must be defined
       for a new letter	type:

       let@init_type
	      This  macro  is  called directly by .LT.	It is supposed to ini-
	      tialize variables	and other stuff.

       let@head_type
	      This macro prints	the letter head, and is	called instead of  the
	      normal  page  header.   It  is  supposed	to  remove  the	 alias
	      let@header, otherwise it will be called for all pages.

       let@sg_type name	title n	flag [arg1 [arg2 [...]]]
	      .SG is calling this macro	only for letters, memorandums has  its
	      own processing.  name and	title is specified thru	.WA/.WB.  n is
	      the  counter,  1-max,  and  flag is true for the last name.  Any
	      other argument to	.SG is appended.

       let@fc_type closing
	      This macro is called by .FC, and has the formal closing as argu-
	      ment.

       .LO is implemented as a	general	 option-macro.	 .LO  demands  that  a
       string  named  Lettype  is defined, where type is the letter type.  .LO
       will then assign	the argument to	the string variable let*lo-type.
