The files in this directory show mom in action. I haven't included PostScript output from the files because I want to keep the mom archive as lean as possible. In order to see the PostScript output of these files, process them with groff, sending the output either to a separate file for previewing with gv (ghostview) or to your printer. I don't recommend previewing with gxditview because it doesn't render some of mom's effects properly. All the files are set up for 8.5ix11i paper. macros.mom ---------- This file demonstrates the use of typesetting tabs, string tabs, line padding, multi-columns and various indent styles, as well as some of the refinements and fine-tuning available via macros and inline escapes. Because the file also demonstrates a "cutaround" using a small picture (of Tux), the PostScript file has been included in the directory. typeset.mom ----------- This file contains samples of three of the document styles available with the document processing macros, as well as demonstrating the use of COLLATE. The relatively rare BREAK_QUOTE macro is also used. The PRINTSTYLE of this file is TYPESET, letting you get a look at mom's default behaviour when she typesets a document. The last sample, set in 2 columns, shows a few of the ways in which you can modify mom's behaviour. typewrite.mom ------------- Using the first two samples from typeset.mom, this file shows what "typewritten, double-spaced" documents (PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE) look like. elvis_syntax ------------ For those who use the vi clone, elvis, you can paste this file into your elvis.syn file. Provided your mom documents have the extension .mom, they'll come out with colorized syntax highlighting. The rules in elvis_syntax aren't exhaustive, but they go a LONG way to making mom files more readable. I'll be very happy if someone sends me syntax highlighting rules vim and emacs. :)
