<h2><a name="INTRO_MACROS_DOCPROCESSING"><u>Introduction to document processing</u></a></h2>
As explained in
<a href="intro.html#INTRO_DOCPROCESSING">Document processing with mom</a>,
document processing uses markup tags to identify document elements
such as heads, paragraphs, and so on. The tags are, of course, macros,
but with sensible, readable names that make them easy to grasp and
easy to remember. (And don't forget: if you don't like the
"official" name of a tag -- too long, cumbersome
to type in, not "intuitive" enough -- you can change it
with the
<a href="goodies.html#ALIAS">ALIAS</a>
macro.)
<p>
In addition to the tags themselves, <strong>mom</strong> has an
extensive array of macros that control how they look and behave.
<p>
Setting up a <strong>mom</strong> doc is a simple, four-part procedure.
You begin by entering information about the document itself (title,
subtitle, author, etc.). Next, you tell <strong>mom</strong> what
kind of document you're creating (e.g. chapter, letter, abstract,
etc...) and what kind of output you want (typeset, typewritten,
draft-style, etc). Thirdly, you make as many or as few changes to
<strong>mom</strong>'s default behaviour as you wish. Lastly, you
invoke the
<a href="#START">START</a>
macro. Voilà! You're ready to write.
<p>
<hr>
<h2><a name="DEFAULTS"><u>Some document defaults</u></a></h2>
As is to be expected, <strong>mom</strong> has defaults for everything.
If you want to know a particular default, read about it in the
description of the pertinent tag.
<p>
I fear the following may not be adequately covered in the
documentation. Just in case, here they are.
<p>
<ul>
<li>the paper size is 8.5x11 inches
<li>the left and right margins are 1-inch
<li>the top and bottom margins for document text are plus/minus
visually 1-inch
<li>pages are numbered; the number appears centred, at the
bottom, surrounded by hyphens ( e.g. -6- )
<li>the first page of a document begins with a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">document header</a>
<li>subsequent pages have
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
with a rule underneath
</ul>
<p>
Another way to check up on document processing defaults is to have
a look at the macro file (om.tmac). Each macro is preceded by a
description that (generally) says what its default is (if it has
one).
<p>
<hr>
<a name="LEADING_NOTE">
<h2><u>IMPORTANT NOTE on leading/spacing and bottom margins</u></h2>
</a>
<strong>Mom</strong> takes evenly-aligned bottom margins in
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>
very seriously. Only under a very few (exceptional) circumstances
will she allow a bottom margin to "hang" (i.e. to fall
short).
<p>
In order to ensure even bottom margins, <strong>mom</strong>
uses the "base" document
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
in effect <em>at the start of running text on each page</em> (i.e.
the leading used in paragraphs) to calculate the spacing of every
document element. Prior to invoking
<a href="#START">START</a>,
this is set with the
<a href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macro</a>
<a href="typesetting.html#LEADING">LS</a>,
afterwards with the document
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_CONTROLMACRO">control macro</a>
<a href="#DOC_LEAD">DOC_LEAD</a>.
<p>
Because <strong>mom</strong> relies so heavily on the base document
leading, any change to the leading or spacing on a page will almost
certainly have undesirable consequences on that page's bottom margin
unless the change is fully compensated for elsewhere on the page.
<p>
In other words, if you add a few points of space somewhere on a page,
you must subtract the same number of points somewhere else on that
same page, and vice versa.
<p>
If it's a question of adding or subtracting full line spaces between
or within document elements, you can do so by using the "v"
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>
with whatever spacing macro you choose --
<a href="typesetting.html#ALD">ALD</a>,
<a href="typesetting.html#RLD">RLD</a>,
<a href="typesetting.html#SPACE">SPACE</a>
-- and <strong>mom</strong> won't object. "v" means
"the current leading", so she isn't confused by it. And
since "v" accepts decimal fractions, you can add/subtract
half linespaces and quarter linespaces with "v" as well,
<em>provided you compensate for the fractional linespace somewhere
else on the page</em>.
<p>
If all this seems like too much work, <strong>mom</strong>
provides a special macro to get you out of trouble if you've played
around with leading and/or spacing. The macro is called
<strong>SHIM</strong> (like those little pieces of wood carpenters
use to get their work even, level and snug), and it's described
below.
<p>
<!---SHIM--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="SHIM"></a>
Macro: <strong>SHIM</strong>
<p>
<strong>SHIM</strong> doesn't take any argument. Use it whenever
you've played around with the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
or spacing on a page and you
need to get <strong>mom</strong>'s document leading back on track.
<p>
For example, say you want to insert a picture into a document with
the special groff macro, <strong>PSPIC</strong> (see the
<strong>groff_tmac</strong> man page for usage).
<p>
Pictures aren't usually conveniently sized in multiples of document
leading, which means that when you insert the picture, you disrupt
<strong>mom</strong>'s ordered placement of baselines on the page.
This will certainly result in a bottom margin that doesn't match the
bottom margins of your document's other pages.
<p>
The solution is to insert <strong>SHIM</strong> after the picture,
like this:
<p>
<pre>
<some lines of text>
.PSPIC <full path to picture>
.SHIM
<more lines of text>
</pre>
<strong>SHIM</strong> instructs <strong>mom</strong> to insert as
much or a little space after the picture as is needed to ensure that
the baseline of the next
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_OUTPUTLINE">output line</a>
falls where <strong>mom</strong> would have put it had you not
disrupted the normal flow of output lines with the picture.
<p>
And say, on previewing the above example, you find that the picture
doesn't centre nicely between the lines of text, you can always do
<p>
<pre>
<some lines of text>
.RLD 3p
.PSPIC <full path to picture>
.SHIM
<more lines of text>
</pre>
to raise the picture slightly
(<strong>R</strong>everse <strong>L</strong>ea<strong>D</strong>
3 points; see
<a href="typesetting.html#RLD">RLD</a>),
and still have <strong>SHIM</strong> ensure that text underneath
falls exactly where it's supposed to.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> For information on disabling the automatic
shimming of quotes and blockquotes during document processing, see
<a href="docelement.html#NO_SHIM">here</a>.

<a name="DOCPROCESSING_TUT">
<h3><u>Tutorial -- Setting up a mom document</u></h3>
</a>
There are four "parts" to setting up a <strong>mom</strong>
doc (three, actually, with one optional). Before we proceed, though,
be reassured that something as simple as
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "By the Shores of Lake Attica"
.AUTHOR "Rosemary Winspeare"
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.START
</pre>
produces a beautifully typeset 8.5x11 document, with a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
at the top of page 1,
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
with the title and author on subsequent
pages, and page numbers at the bottom of each page. In the course
of the document, heads, subheads, citations, quotes, epigraphs,
and so on, all come out looking neat, trim, and professional.
<p>
For the purposes of this tutorial, we're going to set up a short
story -- <em>My Pulitzer Winner</em> by Joe Blow. Thankfully,
we don't have to look at story itself, just the setup.
Joe wants the document
<p>
<ul>
<li>to be draft 7, revision 39;
<li>to use the "default" style of document formatting:
<li>to print as draft-style output (instead of "final" copy output);
<li>to be typeset, in Helvetica, 12 on 14,
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RAG">rag-right</a>;
<li>to have <a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>
instead of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">headers</a>;
<li>to use a single asterisk for
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LINEBREAK">author linebreaks</a>.
</ul>
<p>
Joe Blow has no taste in typography. His draft won't look pretty,
but this is, after all, a tutorial; we're after examples, not beauty.
<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>
The first step in setting up any document is giving <strong>mom</strong>
some reference information. The reference macros are:
<p>
<ul>
<li>TITLE
<li>DOCTITLE
<li>COVERTITLE
<li>SUBTITLE
<li>AUTHOR
<li>CHAPTER -- the chapter number
<li>DRAFT -- the draft number
<li>REVISION -- the revision number
<li>COPYRIGHT -- only used on cover pages
<li>MISC -- only used on cover pages
<li>COVER_TITLE -- only on cover pages; only if needed
<li>DOC_COVER_TITLE -- only on document cover pages; only if needed
</ul>
<p>
You can use as many or as few as you wish, although at a minimum,
you'll probably fill in <strong>TITLE</strong> (unless the document's
a letter) and <strong>AUTHOR</strong>. Order doesn't matter.
You can separate the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_ARGUMENTS">arguments</a>
from the macros by any number of spaces. The following are
what you'd need to start Joe Blow's story.
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
</pre>
<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>
Once you've given <strong>mom</strong> the reference information she
needs, you tell her how you want your document formatted. What kind
of document is it? Should it be typeset or typewritten? Is this
a "final" copy (for the world to see) or just a draft?
<strong>Mom</strong> calls the macros that answer these questions
"the docstyle macros." They are:
<p>
<ul>
<li>DOCTYPE -- the type of document (default, chapter, user-defined, letter)
<li>PRINTSTYLE -- typeset or typewritten
<li>COPYSTYLE -- draft or final copy
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong> has defaults for <strong>DOCTYPE</strong>
and <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong>; if they're what you want, you
don't need to include them here. However, <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>
has no default and MUST be present in every formatted document.
If you omit it, <strong>mom</strong> won't process the document AND
she'll complain (both to stderr and as a single printed sheet with
a warning). Moms -- they can be so annoying sometimes. <sigh>
<p>
Adding to what we already have, the next bit of setup for Joe
Blow's story looks like this:
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
\#
.DOCTYPE DEFAULT \"Superfluous; mom uses DOCTYPE DEFAULT by default
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.COPYSTYLE DRAFT
</pre>
Notice the use of the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_COMMENTLINES">comment line</a>
( \# ), a handy way to keep groups of macros visually separated
for easy reading in a text editor.
<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>
This step -- completely optional -- is where you, the user, take
charge. <strong>Mom</strong> has defaults for <em>everything</em>,
but who's ever satisfied with defaults? Use any of the <a
href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>
here to change <strong>mom</strong>'s document defaults (paper
size, margins, family, point size, line space, rag, etc), or
any of the document processing macros that set/change/control
the appearance of document elements. Think of this as the
"style-sheet " section of a document. And please note:
you MUST give <strong>mom</strong> a
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE</a>
directive <strong>before</strong> making any such changes.
<p>
Joe Blow wants his story printed in Helvetica, 12 on 14, rag
right, with
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">page footers</a>
instead of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
and a single asterisk for the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LINEBREAK">linebreak</a>
character. None of these requirements conforms
to <strong>mom</strong>'s defaults for the chosen
<strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> (TYPESET), so we change them here.
The setup for Joe Blow's story now looks like this:
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
\#
.DOCTYPE DEFAULT
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.COPYSTYLE DRAFT
\#
.FAMILY H
.PT_SIZE 12
.LS 14
.QUAD LEFT \"i.e. rag right
.FOOTERS
.LINEBREAK_CHAR *
</pre>
<h3><u>Step 4</u></h3>
The final step in setting up a document is telling <strong>mom</strong>
to start document processing. It's a no-brainer, just the single macro
<strong>START</strong>. Other than <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>, it's
the only macro required for document processing (although
I can't guarantee you'll like the results of using just the two).
<p>
Here's the complete setup for <em>My Pulitzer Winner</em>:
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
\#
.DOCTYPE DEFAULT
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.COPYSTYLE DRAFT
\#
.FAMILY H
.PT_SIZE 12
.LS 14
.QUAD LEFT \"i.e. rag right
.FOOTERS
.LINEBREAK_CHAR *
\#
.START
</pre>
As pointed out earlier, Joe Blow is no typographer. Given that all he
needs is a printed draft of his work, a simpler setup would have been:
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
\#
.PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE
.COPYSTYLE DRAFT
\#
.START
</pre>
<kbd>.PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</kbd>, above, means that Joe's work
will come out "typewritten, double-spaced", making the
blue-pencilling he (or someone else) is sure to do much
easier (which is why many publishers and agents still insist on
typewritten, double-spaced copy).
<p>
When J. Blow stops re-writing and decides to print off a final,
typeset copy of his work for the world to see, he need only
make two changes to the (simplified) setup:
<p>
<pre>
.TITLE "My Pulitzer Winner"
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
.DRAFT 7
.REVISION 39
\#
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET \"first change
.COPYSTYLE FINAL \"second change
\#
.START
</pre>
In the above, <kbd>.DRAFT 7, .REVISION 39,</kbd> and <kbd>.COPYSTYLE
FINAL</kbd> are actually superfluous. The draft and revision numbers
aren't used when <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong>,
and <strong>COPYSTYLE FINAL</strong> is <strong>mom</strong>'s
default unless you tell her otherwise. BUT... to judge from the
number of drafts already, J. Blow may very well decide his
"final" version still isn't up to snuff. Hence, he might
as well leave in the superfluous macros. That way, when draft 7,
rev. 62 becomes draft 8, rev. 1, he'll be ready to tackle his Pulitzer
winner again.

<p>
<a name="TITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>TITLE</strong> "<title string>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
The title string can be caps or caps/lower-case; it's up to you.
In
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>,
the title will appear in the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
exactly as you typed it. However, <strong>mom</strong> converts
the title to all caps in
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
unless you turn that feature off (see
<a href="headfootpage.html#_CAPS">HEADER_<POSITION>_CAPS</a>). In
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</a>,
the title always gets converted to caps.
<p>
<strong>TITLE</strong> accepts multiple arguments, each surrounded
by double-quotes. Each argument is printed on a separate line,
permitting you to create multi-line titles in your docheaders.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If your
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>
is <strong>CHAPTER</strong>, <strong>TITLE</strong> should be the
title of the opus, not "CHAPTER whatever".
<p>
<!---DOCTITLE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="DOC_TITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>DOCTITLE</strong> "<overall document title>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> This macro should be used only if your
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>
is <strong>DEFAULT</strong> (which is <strong>mom</strong>'s
default). If your <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> is
<strong>CHAPTER</strong>, use
<a href="#TITLE">TITLE</a>
to set the overall document title for cover pages, document cover
pages, and page headers or footers.
<p>
When you're creating a single document, say, an essay or a short
story, you have no need of this macro.
<a href="#TITLE">TITLE</a>
takes care of all your title needs.
<p>
However if you're
<a href="rectoverso.html#COLLATE">collating</a>
a bunch of documents together, say, to print out a report containing
many articles with different titles, or a book of short stories with
different authors, you need <strong>DOCTITLE</strong>.
<p>
<strong>DOCTITLE</strong> tells <strong>mom</strong> the title
of the complete document (as opposed to the title of each article
or entitled section).
<p>
The doctitle string can be caps or caps/lower-case; it's up to you.
In
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>,
by default, the doctitle appears in the rightmost position of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>,
all in caps unless you turn that feature off (see
<a href="headfootpage.html#_CAPS">HEADER_<POSITION>_CAPS</a>). In
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</a>,
the doctitle always gets converted to caps.
<p>
<strong>DOCTITLE</strong> accepts multiple arguments, each surrounded
by double-quotes. Each argument is printed on a separate line,
permitting you to create multi-line document titles for use on
<a href="cover.html#COVER">Covers</a>
and/or
<a href="cover.html#DOC_COVER">Doc covers</a>.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If your
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>
is <strong>CHAPTER</strong>, you don't need
<strong>DOCTITLE</strong>. <strong>TITLE</strong> takes care of
everything.
<p>
<!---SUBTITLE--->

<p>
<a name="SUBTITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>SUBTITLE</strong> "<subtitle>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
The subtitle string can be caps or caps/lower-case. Since a
document's subtitle appears only in the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>,
and the title is most likely in caps, I recommend caps/lower case.
<p>
<strong>SUBTITLE</strong> accepts multiple arguments, each surrounded
by double-quotes. Each argument is printed on a separate line,
permitting you to create multi-line subtitles in your docheaders.
<p>
<!---AUTHOR--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="AUTHOR"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>AUTHOR</strong> "<author>" [ "<author2>" ["<author3>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
Each author string can hold as many names as you like, e.g.
<p>
<pre>
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow"
or
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow, Jane Doe" "John Hancock"
</pre>
<strong>Mom</strong> prints each string that's enclosed in
double-quotes on a separate line in the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>,
however only the first string appears in
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>.
If you want <strong>mom</strong> to put something else in the author
part of page headers (say, just the last names of a document's two
authors), redefine the appropriate part of the header (see
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADER_CONTROL">header/footer control</a>).
<p>
The strings can be caps or caps/lower-case. I recommend caps/lower
case.
<p>
<!---CHAPTER--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="CHAPTER"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>CHAPTER</strong> <chapter number></nobr>
<p>
The chapter number can be in any form you like -- a digit, a roman
numeral, a word. If you choose
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE CHAPTER</a>,
<strong>mom</strong> prints whatever argument you pass
<strong>CHAPTER</strong> beside the word "Chapter" as a
single line
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>.
She also puts the same thing in the middle of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>.
<p>
Please note that if your argument to <strong>CHAPTER</strong> runs
to more than one word, you must enclose the argument in
double-quotes.
<p>
If you're not using <strong>DOCTYPE CHAPTER</strong>, the macro can
be used to identify any document as a chapter <em>for the purpose of
prepending a chapter number to numbered head elements</em>, provided
you pass it a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_NUMERICARGUMENT">numeric argument</a>.
See
<a href="docelement.html#PREFIX_CHAPTER_NUMBER">PREFIX_CHAPTER_NUMBER</a>.
<p>
<a name="CHAPTER_STRING"><strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong></a>
<p>
If you're not writing in English, you can ask <strong>mom</strong>
to use the word for "chapter" in your own language by
telling her what it is with the <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong>
macro, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.CHAPTER_STRING "Chapître"
</pre>
You can also use <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong> if you want
"CHAPTER" instead of "Chapter" in the doc- and
page-headers.
<p>
<!---CHAPTER_TITLE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="CHAPTER_TITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong> "<chapter title>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
If, either in addition to or instead of "Chapter #" appearing
at the top of chapters, you want your chapter to have a title, use
<strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong>, with your title enclosed in
double-quotes, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.CHAPTER_TITLE "The DMCA Nazis"
</pre>
<p>
<strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong> accepts multiple arguments, each
surrounded by double-quotes. Each argument is printed on a separate
line, permitting you to create multi-line chapter titles in your
docheaders.
<p>
If you've used
<a href="#CHAPTER">CHAPTER</a> to give the chapter a number,
both "Chapter #" and the chapter title will appear at the
top of the chapter, like this:
<p>
<pre>
Chapter 1
The DMCA Nazis
</pre>
In such a case, by default, only the chapter's title will appear in the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>,
not "Chapter #".
<p>
If you omit <strong>CHAPTER</strong> when setting up your reference
macros, only the title will appear, both at the top of page one and in
subsequent page headers.
<p>
The style of the chapter title can be altered by
<a href="docelement.html#DOCELEMENT_CONTROL">control macros</a>,
e.g. <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_FAMILY</strong>,
<strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_FONT</strong>, etc. The default family,
font and point size are Times Roman, Bold Italic, 4 points larger
than
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>.
<p>
<!---DRAFT--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="DRAFT"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>DRAFT</strong> <draft #></nobr>
<p>
<strong>DRAFT</strong> only gets used with
<a href="#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE DRAFT</a>.
If the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong> (the
default), <strong>mom</strong> ignores <strong>DRAFT</strong>.
<strong>DRAFT</strong> accepts both alphabetic and numeric
arguments, hence it's possible to do either
<p>
<pre>
.DRAFT 2
or
.DRAFT Two
</pre>
<strong>Mom</strong> prints the argument to <strong>.DRAFT</strong>
(i.e. the draft number) beside the word "Draft" in the
middle part of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>.
<p>
<strong>A small word of caution:</strong> If your argument to
<strong>.DRAFT</strong> is more than one word long, you must
enclose the argument in double-quotes.
<p>
You may, if you wish, invoke <strong>.DRAFT</strong> without an
argument, in which case, no draft number will be printed beside
"Draft" in headers or footers.
<p>
<a name="DRAFT_STRING"><strong>DRAFT_STRING</strong></a>
<p>
If you're not writing in English, you can ask <strong>mom</strong>
to use the word for "draft" in your own language by
telling her what it is with the <strong>DRAFT_STRING</strong> macro,
like this:
<p>
<pre>
.DRAFT_STRING "Jet"
</pre>
Equally, <strong>DRAFT_STRING</strong> can be used to roll your own
solution to something other than the word "Draft." For
example, you might want "Trial run alpha-three" to appear
in the headers of a draft version. You'd accomplish this by doing
<p>
<pre>
.DRAFT alpha-three
.DRAFT_STRING "Trial run
</pre>
<strong>.DRAFT</strong> without an argument, above, ensures that
only the <strong>DRAFT_STRING</strong> gets printed.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If you define both a blank <strong>.DRAFT</strong>
and a blank <strong>.DRAFT_STRING</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>
skips the draft field in headers entirely. If this is what you
want, this is also the only way to do it. Simply leaving out
<strong>.DRAFT</strong> and <strong>.DRAFT_STRING</strong> will
result in <strong>mom</strong> using her default, which is to print
"Draft 1".
<p>
<!---REVISION--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="REVISION"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>REVISION</strong> <revision #></nobr>
<p>
<strong>REVISION</strong> only gets used with
<a href="#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE DRAFT</a>.
If the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>FINAL</strong>
(the default), <strong>mom</strong> ignores the
<strong>REVISION</strong> macro. <strong>REVISION</strong> accepts
both alphabetic and numeric arguments, hence it's possible to do
either
<p>
<pre>
.REVISION 2
or
.REVISION Two
</pre>
<strong>Mom</strong> prints the revision number beside the shortform
"Rev." in the middle part of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>.
<p>
<strong>A small word of caution:</strong> If your argument to
<strong>.REVISION</strong> is more than one word long, you must
enclose the argument in double-quotes.
<p>
You may, if you wish, invoke <strong>.REVISION</strong> without an
argument, in which case, no revision number will be printed beside
"Rev." in headers or footers.
<p>
<a name="REVISION_STRING"><strong>REVISION_STRING</strong></a>
<p>
If you're not writing in English, you can ask <strong>mom</strong>
to use the word for "revision," or a shortform
thereof, in your own language by telling her what it is with the
<strong>REVISION_STRING</strong> macro, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.REVISION_STRING "Rév."
</pre>
Additionally, you may sometimes want to make use of
<strong>mom</strong>'s
<a href="#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE DRAFT</a>
but not actually require any draft information. For example, you
might like <strong>mom</strong> to indicate only the revision number
of your document. The way to do that is to define an empty
<strong>.DRAFT</strong> and <strong>.DRAFT_STRING</strong> in
addition to <strong>.REVISION</strong>, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.DRAFT
.DRAFT_STRING
.REVISION 2
</pre>
<p>
Equally, if you want to roll your own solution to what revision
information appears in headers, you could do something like this:
<pre>
.DRAFT
.DRAFT_STRING
.REVISION "two-twenty-two"
.REVISION_STRING "Revision"
</pre>
<p>
The above, naturally, has no draft information. If you want to
roll your own <strong>.DRAFT</strong> and/or
<strong>.DRAFT_STRING</strong> as well, simply supply arguments to
either or both.
<p>
<!---COPYRIGHT--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="COPYRIGHT"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>COPYRIGHT</strong> "<copyright info>"</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Argument must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
The argument passed to <strong>COPYRIGHT</strong> is only used on
cover or doc cover pages, and then only if the argument COPYRIGHT is
passed to
<a href="cover.html#COVER">COVER</a>
or
<a href="cover.html#DOC_COVER">DOC_COVER</a>.
Do not include the copyright symbol in the argument passed to
<strong>COPYRIGHT</strong>; <strong>mom</strong> puts it in for
you.
<p>
<!---MISC--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="MISC"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>MISC</strong> "<argument 1>" ["<argument 2>" "<argument 3>" ...]</nobr>

<em>*Multliple arguments must all be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
The argument(s) passed to <strong>MISC</strong> are only used on
cover or doc cover pages, and then only if the argument MISC is
passed to
<a href="cover.html#COVER">COVER</a>
or
<a href="cover.html#DOC_COVER">DOC_COVER</a>.
<strong>MISC</strong> can contain any information you like. Each
argument appears on a separate line at the bottom of the cover or
doc cover page.
<p>
For example, if you're submitting an essay where the prof has
requested that you include the course number, his name and the
date, you could do
<p>
<pre>
.MISC "Music History 101" "Professor Hasbeen" "Dec. 24, 2006"
</pre>
and the information would appear on the essay's cover page.
<p>
<!---COVER_TITLE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="COVERTITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>COVERTITLE</strong> "<user defined cover page title>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>

<a name="DOC_COVERTITLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>DOC_COVERTITLE</strong> "<user defined document cover page title>" ["<2nd line>" ["<3rd line>" ... ] ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Arguments must be enclosed in double-quotes</em>
<p>
The arguments passed to <strong>COVERTITLE</strong> or

pages, and then only if the argument COVERTITLE is passed to
<a href="cover.html#COVER">COVER</a>
or
<a href="cover.html#DOC_COVER">DOC_COVER</a>.
<p>
The only time you require a <strong>COVERTITLE</strong> or
<strong>DOC_COVERTITLE</strong>is when none of the required first
arguments to <strong>COVER</strong> or <strong>DOC_COVER</strong>
fits your needs for the title you want to appear on cover (or doc
cover) pages.
<p>
<strong>COVERTITLE</strong> and <strong>DOC_COVERTITLE</strong>
accept multiple arguments, each surrounded by double-quotes. Each
argument is printed on a separate line, permitting you to create
multi-line titles on your cover and/or doc cover pages.

<p>
<a name="DOCTYPE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> DEFAULT | CHAPTER | NAMED "<name>" | LETTER</nobr>
<p>
The arguments <strong>DEFAULT, CHAPTER</strong> and
<strong>NAMED</strong> tell <strong>mom</strong> what to put
in the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>.
<strong>LETTER</strong> tells her that you want to write a
letter.
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong>'s default <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> is
<strong>DEFAULT</strong>. If that's what you want, you don't
have to give a <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> command.
<p>
<strong>DEFAULT</strong> prints a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
containing the title, subtitle and author information given to the
<a href="#REFERENCE_MACROS">reference macros</a>,
and page headers with the author and title.
(See
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADER_STYLE">Default specs for headers</a>
for how <strong>mom</strong> outputs each part of the page header.)
<p>
<strong>CHAPTER</strong> prints "Chapter #" in place of a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
(# is what you gave to the
<a href="#REFERENCE_MACROS">reference macro</a>
<a href="#CHAPTER">CHAPTER</a>).
If you give the chapter a title with
<a href="#CHAPTER_TITLE">CHAPTER TITLE</a>,
<strong>mom</strong> prints "Chapter #" and the title
underneath. If you omit the
<a href="#CHAPTER">CHAPTER</a>
reference macro but supply a
<a href="#CHAPTER_TITLE">CHAPTER_TITLE</a>,
<strong>mom</strong> prints only the chapter title. <em>(*For
backward compatibility with pre-1.1.5 versions of</em>
<strong>mom</strong><em>, you can also supply a chapter title by
omitting the</em> <strong>CHAPTER</strong> <em>reference macro and
supplying a chapter title with</em>
<a href="#CHAPTER_STRING">CHAPTER_STRING</a>.)
<p>
The page headers in <strong>DOCTYPE CHAPTER</strong> contain the author,
the title of the book (which you gave with
<a href="#TITLE">TITLE</a>),
and "Chapter #" (or the chapter title). See
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADER_STYLE">Default Specs for Headers</a>
for <strong>mom</strong>'s default type parameters for each part of
the page header.
<p>
<strong>NAMED</strong> takes an additional argument: a name
for this particular kind of document (e.g. outline, synopsis,
abstract, memorandum), enclosed in double-quotes.
<strong>NAMED</strong> is identical to <strong>DEFAULT</strong>
except that <strong>mom</strong> prints the argument to
<strong>NAMED</strong> beneath the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>,
as well as in page headers.
(See
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADER_STYLE">Default specs for headers</a>
for how <strong>mom</strong> outputs each part of the page header.)
<p>
Additionally, if you wish the name of this particular kind of
document to be coloured, you can pass <strong>DOCTYPE NAMED</strong>
a third (optional) argument: the name of a colour pre-defined (or
"initialized") with
<a href="color.html#NEWCOLOR">NEWCOLOR</a>
or
<a href="color.html#XCOLOR">XCOLOR</a>.
For example, if you have a doctype named "Warning", and
you'd like "Warning" to be in red, assuming you've
pre-defined (or "initialized") the color, red, this is
what the <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> entry would look like:
<p>
<pre>
.DOCTYPE NAME "Warning" red
</pre>
<p>
<strong>LETTER</strong> tells mom you're writing a letter. See
the section
<a href="letters.html#INTRO">Writing Letters</a>

<nobr>Macro: <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> TYPESET | TYPEWRITE [ SINGLESPACE ]</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Required for document processing.</em>
<br>
<em>*Must come before any changes to default document style</em>
<p>
<strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> tells <strong>mom</strong> whether to typeset
a document, or to print it out "typewritten, doubled-spaced".
<p>
<strong>THIS MACRO MAY NOT BE OMITTED.</strong> In order for
document processing to take place, <strong>mom</strong> requires
a <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>. If you don't give one,
<strong>mom</strong> will warn you on stderr and print a single
page with a nasty message.
<p>
Furthermore, <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> must come before any
changes to <strong>mom</strong>'s default typestyle parameters.
(This applies primarily to, but is by no means restricted to,
<strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</strong>.) <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>
sets up complete "templates" that include default
papersize, margins, family, fonts, point sizes, and so on.
Therefore, changes to any aspect of document style must come
afterwards.
<p>
<strong>TYPESET</strong>, as the argument implies, typesets documents
(by default in Times Roman; see
<a href="#TYPESET_DEFAULTS">TYPESET defaults</a>).
You have full access to all the
<a href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>
as well as the
<a href="definitions.html#STYLE_CONTROL">style control macros</a>
of document processing.
<p>
As mentioned above, <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</strong> must come
before any changes to <strong>mom</strong>'s default typographic
settings. For example,
<pre>
.PAPER A4
.LS 14
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
</pre>
will not changes <strong>mom</strong>'s default paper size to A4,
nor her default document leading 14 points, whereas
<pre>
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.PAPER A4
.LS 14
</pre>
will.
<p>
With <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>, <strong>mom</strong> does her best
to reproduce the look and feel of typewritten, double-spaced copy (see
<a href="#TYPEWRITE_DEFAULTS">TYPEWRITE defaults</a>).
<a href="docelement.html#DOCELEMENT_CONTROL">Control macros</a>
and
<a href="typesetting.html#INTRO_MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>
that alter family, font, point size, and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
are (mostly) ignored. An important exception is
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_SIZE">HEADER_SIZE</a>
(and, by extension, <strong>FOOTER_SIZE</strong>), which allows
you to reduce the point size of headers/footers should they become
too crowded. Most of <strong>mom</strong>'s inlines affecting the
appearance of type are also ignored (<strong>\*S</strong> is an
exception; there may be a few others).
<p>
In short, <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> never produces effects other than
those available on a typewriter. Don't be fooled by how brainless
this sounds; <strong>mom</strong> is remarkably sophisticated when
it comes to conveying the typographic sense of a document within the
confines of <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>.
<p>
The primary uses of <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> are: outputting hard
copy drafts of your work (for editing), and producing documents
for submission to publishers and agents who (wisely) insist on
typewritten, double-spaced copy. To get a nicely typeset version of
work that's in the submission phase of its life (say, to show fellow
writers for critiquing), simply change <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>
to <strong>TYPESET</strong> and print out a copy.
<p>
If, for some reason, you would prefer the output of
<strong>TYPEWRITE</strong> single-spaced, pass <strong>PRINTSTYLE
TYPEWRITE</strong> the optional argument, <strong>SINGLESPACE</strong>.
<p>
If you absolutely must have a leading other than typewriter double-
or singlespaced, the only way to get it is with the
<a href="#DOC_LEAD">DOC_LEAD</a>
macro, and then ONLY if <strong>DOC_LEAD</strong> is set
<strong>before</strong> you invoke the <strong>START</strong>
macro.

<a name="TYPEWRITE_CONTROL"><h3><u>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE control macros</u></h3></a>
<p>
In <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>,
by default, underlines anything that looks like italics. This
includes the
<a href="typesetting.html#SLANT_INLINE">\*[SLANT]</a>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escape</a>
for pseudo-italics.
<p>
If you'd prefer that <strong>mom</strong> were
less bloody-minded about pretending to be a typewriter (i.e.
you'd like italics and pseudo-italics to come out as italics),
use the control macros <strong>.ITALIC_MEANS_ITALIC</strong> and
<strong>.SLANT_MEANS_SLANT</strong>. Neither requires an
argument.
<p>
Although it's unlikely, should you wish to reverse the sense of
these macros in the midst of a document,
<strong>.UNDERLINE_ITALIC</strong> and
<strong>.UNDERLINE_SLANT</strong> restore underlining of
italics and pseudo-italics.
<p>
<a name="UNDERLINE_QUOTES"></a>
Additionally, by default, <strong>mom</strong> underlines
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_QUOTES">quotes</a>
(but not
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_BLOCKQUOTES">blockquotes</a>)
in <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>.
If you don't like this behaviour, turn it off with
<p>
<pre>
.UNDERLINE_QUOTES OFF
</pre>
To turn underlining of quotes back on, use
<strong>UNDERLINE_QUOTES</strong> without an argument.
<p>
While most of the
<a href="docelement.html#DOCELEMENT_CONTROL">control macros</a>
have no effect on <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>, there
is an important exception:
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_SIZE">HEADER_SIZE</a>
(and by extension, <strong>FOOTER_SIZE</strong>). This is
particularly useful for reducing the point size of
headers/footers should they become crowded (quite likely to
happen if the title of your document is long and your
<a href="#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE</a>
is <strong>DRAFT</strong>).
<p>
<!---COPYSTYLE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="COPYSTYLE"></a>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> DRAFT | FINAL</nobr>
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong>'s default <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is
<strong>FINAL</strong>, so you don't have to use this macro unless
you want to.
<p>
<strong>COPYSTYLE DRAFT</strong> exhibits the following behaviour:
<br>
<ol>
<li>documents start on page 1, whether or not you
request a different starting page number with
<a href="headfootpage.html#PAGENUMBER">PAGENUMBER</a>
<li>page numbers are set in lower case roman numerals
<li>the draft number supplied by
<a href="#DRAFT">DRAFT</a>
and a revision number, if supplied with
<a href="#REVISION">REVISION</a>
(see
<a href="#REFERENCE_MACROS">reference macros</a>),
appear in the centre part of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
(or footers, depending on which you've selected) along with
any other information that normally appears there.
</ol>
<p>
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> If you define your own centre part for page
headers with
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_CENTER">HEADER_CENTER</a>,
no draft and/or revision number will appear there. If you want draft
and revision information in this circumstance, use
<a href="headfootpage.html#DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER">DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER</a>.
<p>
<strong>COPYSTYLE FINAL</strong> differs from <strong>DRAFT</strong> in that:
<br>
<ol>
<li>it respects the starting page number you give the document
<li>page numbers are set in normal (Arabic) digits
<li>no draft or revision number appears in the page headers
</ol>
<p>
<a name="COPYSTYLE_NOTE"><strong>NOTE:</strong></a>
The centre part of page headers can get crowded,
especially with
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE CHAPTER</a>
and
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE NAMED</a>,
when the <strong>COPYSTYLE</strong> is <strong>DRAFT</strong>.
Three mechanisms are available to overcome this problem. One is to
reduce the overall size of headers (with
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_SIZE">HEADER_SIZE</a>).
Another, which only works with
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>,
is to reduce the size of the header's centre part only (with
<a href="headfootpage.html#_SIZE">HEADER_CENTER_SIZE</a>).
And finally, you can elect to have the draft/revision information
attached to page numbers instead of having it appear in the centre
of page headers (see
<a href="headfootpage.html#DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER">DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER</a>).

In the third (optional) part of setting up a document (see
<a href="#DOCPROCESSING_TUT">Tutorial -- setting up a mom document</a>),
you can use the
<a href="typsetting.html">typesetting macros</a>
to change <strong>mom</strong>'s document-wide defaults for margins,
line length, family, base point size,
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>,
and justification style.
<p>
Two additional style concerns have to be addressed here (i.e. in

<a name="TYPE_BEFORE_START"><h2><u>Using the typesetting macros prior to START</u></h2></a>
<p>
From time to time (or maybe frequently), you'll want the overall
look of a document to differ from <strong>mom</strong>'s defaults.
Perhaps you'd like her to use a different
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FAMILY">family</a>,
or a different overall
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>,
or have different left and/or right page margins.
<p>
To accomplish such alterations, use the appropriate
<a href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>
(listed below) <strong>after</strong>
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE</a>
and <strong>before</strong>
<a href="#START">START</a>.
<p>
More than one user has, quite understandably, not fully grasped
the significance of the preceding sentence. The part they've missed
is "<u>after <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong></u>".
<p>
Changes to any aspect of the default look and/or formatting
of a <strong>mom</strong> document must come after
<strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong>. For example, it might seem natural to
set up page margins at the very top of a document with
<p>
<pre>
.L_MARGIN 1i
.R_MARGIN 1.5i
</pre>
However, when you invoke <strong>.PRINTSTYLE</strong>, those
margins will be overridden. The correct place to set margins--and
all other changes to the look of a document--is <strong>after
PRINTSTYLE</strong>.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Don't use the macros listed in <a
href="#DOC_PARAM_MACROS">Changing document-wide typesetting
parameters after START</a> prior to <strong>START</strong>; they are
exclusively for use afterwards.
<p>
When used before
<strong>START</strong>,
the
<a href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>
(below) have the following meanings:
<p>
<pre>
L_MARGIN Left margin of pages, including headers/footers
R_MARGIN Right margin of pages, including headers/footers
T_MARGIN The point at which running text (i.e. not
headers/footers or page numbers) starts on each page
B_MARGIN* The point at which running text (i.e. not
(see note) headers/footers or page numbers) ends on each page
PAGE If you use PAGE, its final four arguments have the
same meaning as L_ R_ T_ and B_MARGIN (above).
LL The line length for everything on the page;
equivalent to setting the right margin with R_MARGIN
FAMILY The family of all type in the document
PT_SIZE The point size of type in paragraphs; mom uses this
to calculate automatic point size changes (e.g. for
heads, footnotes, quotes, headers, etc)
LS/AUTOLEAD** The leading used in paragraphs; all leading and spacing
of running text is calculated from this
QUAD/JUSTIFY Affects paragraphs only
LEFT No effect***
RIGHT No effect***
CENTER No effect***

*See <a href="headfootpage.html#FOOTER_MARGIN">FOOTER MARGIN AND BOTTOM MARGIN</a> for an important warning

***See <a href="#LRC_NOTE">Special note</a>
</pre>
Other macros that deal with type style, or refinements thereof
(<strong>KERN, LIGATURES, HY, WS, SS,</strong> etc.), behave normally.
It is not recommended that you set up tabs or indents prior to
<strong>START</strong>.
<p>
If you want to change any of the basic parameters (above)
<em>after</em> <strong>START</strong> and have them affect a
document globally (as if you'd entered them <em>before</em>
<strong>START</strong>), you must use the macros listed in
<a href="#DOC_PARAM_MACROS">Changing document-wide style parameters after START</a>.
<a name="LRC_NOTE"></a>
<h3><u>Special note on .LEFT, .RIGHT and .CENTER prior to START</u></h3>
In a word, these three macros have no effect on document processing
when invoked prior to <strong>START</strong>.
<p>
All <strong>mom</strong>'s document element tags
(<strong>PP</strong>, <strong>HEAD</strong>,
<strong>BLOCKQUOTE</strong>, <strong>FOOTNOTE</strong>, etc.)
except
<a href="docelement.html#QUOTE">QUOTE</a>
set a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FILLED">fill mode</a>
as soon as they're invoked. If you wish to turn fill mode off for
the duration of any tag (with
<a href="typesetting.html#LRC">.LEFT, .RIGHT or .CENTER</a>)
you must do so immediately after invoking the tag. Furthermore,
the change affects <em>only</em> the current invocation of the tag.
Subsequent invocations of the same tag for which you want the same
change require that you invoke <strong>LEFT</strong>,
<strong>RIGHT</strong> or <strong>CENTER</strong> immediately after
every invocation of the tag.
<p>
<!---INCLUDE--->
<a name="INCLUDE"><h2><u>Including (sourcing) style sheets and files</u></h2></a>
<br>
If you routinely make the same changes to <strong>mom</strong>'s
defaults in order to create similar documents in a similar
style--in other words, you need a template--, you can create
style-sheet files and include, or "source", them into your
<strong>mom</strong> documents with the macro,
<strong>INCLUDE</strong>. The right place for such style sheets is
after
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE</a>
and before
<a href="#START">START</a>
<p>
Say, for example, in a particular kind of document, you
always want main heads set in Helvetica Bold Italic, flush
left, with no underscore. You'd create a file, let's call
it <kbd>head_template</kbd>, in which you'd place the pertinent
HEAD control macros.
<pre>
.HEAD_FAMILY H
.HEAD_FONT BI
.HEAD_QUAD L
.HEAD_UNDERLINE OFF
</pre>
Then, in the preliminary document set-up section of your main file,
you'd include the style sheet, or template, like this:
<pre>
.TITLE "Sample Document
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
\#
.INCLUDE head_template
\#
.START
</pre>
The blank comment lines (<strong>\#</strong>) aren't required, but
they do make your file(s) easier to read.
<p>
If the file to be included is in the same directory as the file
you're working, you simply enter the filename after
<kbd>.INCLUDE</kbd>. If the file's in another directory, you must
provide a full path name to it. For example, if you're working in
a directory called <kbd>/home/joe/stories</kbd> and your
style-sheet is in <kbd>/home/joe/style_sheets</kbd>, the above
example would have to look like this:
<pre>
.TITLE "Sample Document
.AUTHOR "Joe Blow
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
\#
.INCLUDE /home/joe/style_sheets/head_template
\#
.START
</pre>
<strong>INCLUDE</strong> is not restricted to style sheets
or templates. You can include any file at any point into a
document, provided the file contains only text and valid groff or
<strong>mom</strong> formatting commands. Neither is
<strong>INCLUDE</strong> restricted to use with
<strong>mom</strong>'s document processing macros. You can use it
in plain typeset documents as well.
<p>
<strong>EXPERTS: INCLUDE</strong> is an alias for the groff
request, <kbd>.so</kbd>. Mix 'n' match <strong>.INCLUDE</strong>
and <strong>.so</strong> with impunity.
<p>
<!---COLOR--->
<a name="COLOR"><h2><u>Using colours</u></h2></a>
<br>
Although it doesn't really matter where you define/initialize
colours for use in document processing (see
<a href="color.html#NEWCOLOR">NEWCOLOR</a>
and
<a href="color.html#XCOLOR">XCOLOR</a>
in the section
<a href="color.html#COLOR_INTRO">Coloured text</a>),
I recommend doing so before you begin document processing with
<a href="#START">START</a>.
<p>
The macro,
<a href="color.html#COLOR">COLOR</a>,
and the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escape</a>,
<a href="color.html#COLOR_INLINE">\[<colorname>]</a>,
can be used at any time during document processing for occasional
colour effects. However, consistent and reliable colourizing of
various document elements (the docheader, heads, linebreaks,
footnotes, pagenumbers, and so on) must be managed through the use
of the
<a href="docelement.html#DOCELEMENT_CONTROL">document element control macros</a>.
<p>
<strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> If you plan to have <strong>mom</strong>
generate a
<a href="docelement.html#TOC">table of contents</a>,
do NOT embed colour
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escapes</a>
(<a href="color.html#COLOR_INLINE">\[<colorname>]</a>)
in the

<a href="docelement.html#HEAD">.HEAD</a>,
<a href="docelement.html#SUBHEAD">.SUBHEAD</a>
or
<a href="docelement.html#PARAHEAD">.PARAHEAD</a>.
Use, rather, the

<strong>mom</strong> provides to automatically colourize these
elements.

<br>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong> toggle</nobr>
<br>
<em>*Must come after LS or AUTOLEAD and before START</em>
<p>
<strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong> is a special macro to adjust
document
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
so that bottom margins fall precisely where you expect.
<p>
If you invoke <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>
takes the number of lines that fit on the page at your requested
leading, then incrementally adds
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITS">machine units</a>
to the leading until the maximum number of lines at the new leading
matches the bottom margin. In most instances, the difference
between the requested lead and the adjusted lead is
unnoticeable, and since in almost all cases adjusted leading is
what you want, it's <strong>mom</strong>'s default.
<p>
Should you NOT want adjusted document leading, you MUST turn it
off manually, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF
</pre>
If you set the document leading prior to <strong>START</strong>
with
<a href="typesetting.html#LS">LS</a>
or
<a href="typesetting.html#AUTOLEAD">AUTOLEAD</a>,
<strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF</strong> must come afterwards, like
this:
<p>
<pre>
.LS 12
.DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF
</pre>
In this scenario, the maximum number of lines that fit on a page at
a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
of 12
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">points</a>
determine where <strong>mom</strong> ends
a page. The effect will be that last lines usually fall (slightly)
short of the "official" bottom margin.
<p>
In
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE</a>
<strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>, the leading is always adjusted and
can't be turned off.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, if
used, must be invoked after
<a href="typesetting.html#LEADING">LS</a>
or
<a href="typesetting.html#AUTOLEAD">AUTOLEAD</a>
and before
<a href="#START">START</a>
<p>
<strong>ADDITIONAL NOTE:</strong> Even if you disable
<strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong>, <strong>mom</strong> will still
adjust the leading of endnotes pages and toc pages. See
<a href="docelement.html#ENDNOTE_LEAD">ENDNOTE_LEAD</a>
and
<a href="docelement.html#TOC_LEAD">TOC_LEAD</a>

<em>*Must come before START; distance requires a <a href="#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a></em>
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> prints a
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_DOCHEADER">docheader</a>
on the first page of any document (see
<a href="#DOCHEADER_DESC">below</a>
for a description of the docheader). If you don't want a docheader,
turn it off with
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER OFF
</pre>
<strong>DOCHEADER</strong> is a toggle macro, so the argument doesn't
have to be <strong>OFF</strong>; it can be anything you like.
<p>
If you turn the docheader off, <strong>mom</strong>, by default, starts
the running text of your document on the same top
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_BASELINE">baseline</a>
as all subsequent pages. If you'd like her to start at a different
vertical position, give her the distance you'd like as a second
argument.
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER OFF 1.5i
</pre>
This starts the document 1.5 inches from the top of the page PLUS
whatever spacing adjustment <strong>mom</strong> has to make in
order to ensure that the first baseline of running text falls on a
"valid" baseline (i.e. one that ensures that the bottom
margin of the first page falls where it should). The distance is
measured from the top edge of the paper to the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_BASELINE">baseline</a>
of the first line of type.
<p>
<strong>TIP:</strong> Since no document processing happens until
you invoke
<a href="#START">START</a>
-- including anything to do with docheaders -- you can typeset
your own docheader prior to <strong>START</strong> (if you don't
like the way <strong>mom</strong> does things) and use
<strong>DOCHEADER OFF</strong> with its optional distance argument
to ensure that the body of your document starts where you want.
You can even insert a PostScript file (with <strong>.PSPIC</strong>;
see the <strong>groff_tmac</strong> man page for usage).

<a name="DOCHEADER_CONTROL"><h3><u>How to change the look of docheaders: docheader control macros</u></h3></a>

With

In
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>,
however, you can make a lot of changes. Macros that alter docheaders
MUST come before
<a href="#START">START</a>.
<a name="DOCHEADER_DESC"></a>
<p>
A typeset docheader has the following characteristics. Note that
title, subtitle, author, and document type are what you supply
with the
<a href="#REFERENCE_MACROS">reference macros</a>.
Any you leave out will not appear; <strong>mom</strong> will
compensate:
<p>
<pre>
TITLE bold, 3.5 points larger than running text (not necessarily caps)
Subtitle medium, same size as running text
by medium italic, same size as running text
Author(s) medium italic, same size as running text
(Document type) bold italic, underscored, 3 points larger than running text
</pre>
If the
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>
is CHAPTER,
<pre>
Chapter # bold, 4 points larger than running text
Chapter Title bold italic, 4 points larger than running text
</pre>
<p>
The
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FAMILY">family</a>
is the prevailing family of the whole document.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If your <strong>DOCTYPE</strong> is
<strong>CHAPTER</strong> and you have both "Chapter #"
and a "Chapter Title" (as above), <strong>mom</strong>
inserts a small amount of whitespace between them, equal to
one-quarter of the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
in effect. If this doesn't suit you, you can alter the space
by including the
<a name="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escapes</a>,
<a href="inlines.html#UP">\*[UP]</a>
or
<a href="inlines.html#DOWN">\*[DOWN]</a>,
in the argument you pass to
<a href="#CHAPTER_TITLE">CHAPTER_TITLE</a>, like this:
<p>

By default, a docheader starts on the same
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_BASELINE">baseline</a>
as
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>.
If you'd like it to start somewhere else, use the macro
<kbd>.DOCHEADER_ADVANCE</kbd> and give it the distance you want
(measured from the top edge of the paper to the first baseline
of the docheader), like this:
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER_ADVANCE 4P
</pre>
A
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>
is required.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADERS">HEADERS</a>
are <strong>OFF</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>'s normal top
margin for
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>
(7.5
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">picas</a>)
changes to 6 picas (visually approx. 1 inch). Since the
first baseline of the docheader falls on the same baseline
as the first line of running text (on pages after page 1),
you might find the docheaders a bit high when headers are off.
Use
<a href="#CHANGE_START">DOCHEADER_ADVANCE</a>
to place them where you want.
<p>
<a name="DOCHEADER_FAMILY"><h3><u>2. Change the family of the entire docheader</u></h3></a>
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> sets the docheader in the same
family used for
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>.
If you'd prefer to have your docheaders set in a different family,
invoke <strong>DOCHEADER_FAMILY</strong> with the family you want.
The argument for <strong>DOCHEADER_FAMILY</strong> is the same as
for
<a href="typesetting.html#FAMILY">FAMILY</a>.
<p>
For example, <strong>mom</strong>'s default family for running text
is Times Roman. If you'd like to keep that default, but have the
docheaders set entirely in Helvetica,
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER_FAMILY H
</pre>
is how you'd do it.
<p>
Please note that if you use <strong>DOCHEADER_FAMILY</strong>,
you can still alter the family of individual parts of the docheader
with the macros listed
<a href="#CHANGE_FAMILY">here</a>.
<a name="ADJUST_LEADING"><h3><u>3. Adjust the leading</u></h3></a>
<p>
The
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
of docheaders is the same as running text. If you'd like your
docheaders to have a different leading, say, 2 points more than the
lead of running text, use:
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER_LEAD +2
</pre>
Since the leading of docheaders is calculated from the lead of running
text, a + or - sign is required before the argument (how much to add
or subtract from the lead of running text). No
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>
is required; points is assumed.
<p>
<a name="CHANGE_FAMILY"><h3><u>4. Change the family of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
<p>
The following macros let you change the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FAMILY">family</a>
of each docheader element separately:
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TITLE_FAMILY</strong> <nobr><family></nobr>
<li><strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_FAMILY</strong> <nobr><family></nobr>
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_FAMILY</strong> <nobr><family></nobr>
<li><strong>AUTHOR_FAMILY</strong> <nobr><family></nobr>
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_FAMILY</strong> <nobr><family> (if</nobr>
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
</ul>
<p>
Simply pass the appropriate macro the family you want, just as you
would with
<a href="typesetting.html#FAMILY">FAMILY</a>.
<p>
<a name="CHANGE_FONT"><h3><u>5. Change the font of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
<p>
The following macros let you change the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FONT">font</a>
of each docheader element separately:
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TITLE_FONT</strong> <nobr>R | B | I | BI</nobr>
<li><strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_FONT</strong> <nobr>R | B | I | BI</nobr>
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_FONT</strong> <nobr>R | B | I | BI</nobr>

<li><strong>DOCTYPE_FONT</strong> <nobr>R | B | I | BI (if</nobr>

</ul>
<p>

<p>
<a name="CHANGE_COLOR"><h3><u>6. Change the colour of the docheader elements individually</u></h3></a>

The following macros let you change the color of each docheader
element separately. You must pre-define (or
"initialize") the color with
<a href="color.html#NEWCOLOR">NEWCOLOR</a>
or
<a href="color.html#XCOLOR">XCOLOR</a>.
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TITLE_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname></nobr>
<li><strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname></nobr>
<ul>
<li><strong>Note: CHAPTER_TITLE_COLOR</strong> is needed
only if you enter both a <strong>CHAPTER</strong>
reference macro AND a <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong>
macro. Otherwise, the macro,
<strong>TITLE_COLOR</strong> takes care of colorizing
the chapter header.
</ul>
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname></nobr>
<li><strong>ATTRIBUTE_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname></nobr>
(the "by" string that precedes the author[s] name[s])
<li><strong>AUTHOR_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname></nobr>
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_COLOR</strong> <nobr><colorname> (if</nobr>
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
</ul>
<p>
It is not recommended that you embed colour (with the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escape</a>,
<a href="color.html#COLOR_INLINE">\*[<colorname>]</a>)
in the strings passed to
<strong>TITLE</strong>, <strong>CHAPTER_TITLE</strong>,
<strong>SUBTITLE</strong>, <strong>AUTHOR</strong> or the name you
give <strong>DOCTYPE NAMED</strong>. The strings passed to these
macros are used to generate page
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">headers</a>
and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>.
An embedded colour will cause the string to be colourized any time
it appears in headers or footers. (If you want headers or footers
colourized, or parts thereof, use the header/footer control macros.)
<p>
<a name="DOCHEADER_COLOR"></a>
If you want to colourize the entire docheader, use the macro
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>DOCHEADER_COLOR</strong> <nobr><color name>.</nobr>
</ul>
<a name="CHANGE_SIZE"><h3><u>7. Adjust the size of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
<p>
The following macros let you adjust the point size of each docheader
element separately.
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong> calculates the point size
of docheader elements from the point size of paragraphs in running
text, so you must prepend a + or - sign to the argument. Points is
assumed as the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>,
so there's no need to append a unit to the argument. Fractional point
sizes are allowed.
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TITLE_SIZE</strong> <nobr><+/-points></nobr>
<br>
default = +3.5 (+4 if docheader title is "Chapter #")
<li><strong>CHAPTER_TITLE_SIZE</strong> <nobr><+/-points></nobr>
<br>
default = +4
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_SIZE</strong> <nobr><+/-points></nobr>
<br>
default = +0
<li><strong>AUTHOR_SIZE</strong> <nobr><+/-points></nobr>
<br>
default = +0
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_SIZE</strong> <nobr><+/-points> (if</nobr>
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
<br>
default = +3
</ul>
<p>
Simply pass the appropriate macro the size adjustment you want.
<p>
<a name="CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE"><h3><u>8. Change the attribution string ("by")</u></h3></a>
<p>
If you're not writing in English, you can change what
<strong>mom</strong> prints where "by" appears in
docheaders. For example,
<p>
<pre>
.ATTRIBUTE_STRING "par"
</pre>
changes "by" to "par". If you
don't want an attribution string at all, simply pass
<strong>ATTRIBUTE_STRING</strong> an empty argument, like this:
<p>
<pre>
.ATTRIBUTE_STRING ""
</pre>
<strong>Mom</strong> will deposit a blank line where the
attribution string normally appears.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> The type specs for the attribution line
in docheaders are the same as for the author line. Although
it's highly unlikely you'll want the attribution line in a
different family, font, or point size, you can do so by using
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escapes</a>
in the argument to <strong>ATTRIBUTE_STRING</strong>. For
example,
<p>
<pre>
.ATTRIBUTE_STRING "\f[HBI]\*[SIZE -2p] by \*[SIZE +2p]\*[PREV]"
</pre>
would set "by" in Helvetica bold italic, 2 points
smaller than normal.
<p>
<hr>
<!---COLUMNS_INTRO--->
<a name="COLUMNS_INTRO"><h2><u>Setting documents in columns</u></h2></a>
<p>
Setting documents in columns is easy with <strong>mom</strong>. (Of
course she'd say that, but it's true!) All you have to do is is
say how many columns you want and how much space you want
between them (the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_GUTTER">gutters</a>).
That's it. <strong>Mom</strong> takes care of everything else, from
soup to nuts.
<p>
<strong>SOME WORDS OF ADVICE:</strong>
<p>
If you want your type to achieve a pleasing
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_JUST">justification</a>
or
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RAG">rag</a>
in columns, reduce the point size of type (and probably the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a>
as well). <strong>Mom</strong>'s default document point
size is 12.5, which works well across her default 39
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">pica</a>
full page line length, but with even just two columns on a page,
the default point size is awkward to work with.
<p>
Furthermore, you'll absolutely need to reduce the indents for
<a href="docelement.html#EPIGRAPH_CONTROL">epigraphs</a>,
<a href="docelement.html#QUOTE_GENERAL">quotes</a>,
and
<a href="docelement.html#BLOCKQUOTE_GENERAL">blockquotes</a>
(and probably the
<a href="docelement.html#PARA_INDENT">paragraph first-line indent</a>
as well).
<p>
<!---COLUMNS--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<a name="COLUMNS"><h3><u>COLUMNS</u></h3></a>
<br>
<nobr>Macro: <strong>COLUMNS</strong> <number of columns> <width of gutters></nobr>
<br>
<em>*Should be the last macro before START
<br>
The second argument requires a <a href="#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a></em>
<p>
<strong>COLUMNS</strong> takes two arguments: the number of
columns you want on document pages, and the width of the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_GUTTER">gutter</a>
between them. For example, to set up a page with two columns
separated by an 18 point gutter, you'd do
<p>
<pre>
.COLUMNS 2 18p
</pre>
Nothing to it, really. However, as noted above,
<strong>COLUMNS</strong> should always be the last document
setup macro prior to
<a href="#START">START</a>.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>Mom</strong> ignores columns completely
when the
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE</a>
is <strong>TYPEWRITE</strong>. The notion of typewriter-style
output in columns is just too ghastly for her to bear.
<h3><u>Using tabs when COLUMNS are enabled</u></h3>
<strong>Mom</strong>'s tabs
(both
<a href="typesetting.html#TYPESETTING_TABS">typesetting tabs</a>
and
<a href="typesetting.html#STRING_TABS">string tabs</a>)
behave as you'd expect during document processing, even when
<strong>COLUMNS</strong> are enabled. Tab structures set up
during document processing carry over from page to page and column
to column.
<a name="BREAKING_COLUMNS"></a>
<h3><u>Breaking columns manually</u></h3>
<strong>Mom</strong> takes care of breaking columns when they reach
the bottom margin of a page. However, there may be times you want to
break the columns yourself. There are two macros for breaking columns
manually: <strong>COL_NEXT</strong> and <strong>COL_BREAK</strong>.
<a name="COL_NEXT"></a>
<p>
<kbd>.COL_NEXT</kbd> breaks the line just before it,
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_QUAD">quads</a>
it left (assuming the type is justified or quad left), and moves over
to the top of the next column. If the column happens to be the last
(rightmost) one on the page, <strong>mom</strong> starts a new page
at the "column 1" position. This is the macro to use when
you want to start a new column after the end of a paragraph.
<a name="COL_BREAK"></a>
<p>
<kbd>.COL_BREAK</kbd> is almost the same, except that
instead of breaking and quadding the line preceding it,
she breaks and spreads it (see
<a href="typesetting.html#SPREAD">SPREAD</a>).
Use this macro whenever you need to start a new column in the middle
of a paragraph.
<p>
If you need <strong>COL_BREAK</strong> in the middle of a blockquote
or (god help us) an epigraph, you must do the following in order for
<strong>COL_BREAK</strong> to work:
<p>
<pre>
.SPREAD
\!.COL_BREAK
</pre>
<hr>
<!========================================================================>
<a name="START_MACRO">
<h2><u>Start document processing</u></h2>
</a>
In order to use <strong>mom</strong>'s document element macros
(tags), you have to tell her you want them. The macro to do this
is <strong>START</strong>.
<p>
<strong>START</strong> collects the information you gave
<strong>mom</strong> in the setup section at the top of your file (see
<a href="#DOCPROCESSING_TUT">Tutorial -- setting up a mom document</a>),
merges it with her defaults, sets up headers and page numbering,
and prepares <strong>mom</strong> to process your document using
the document element tags. No document processing takes place until
you invoke <strong>START</strong>.
<p>
<!---START--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="START"></a>
Macro: <strong>START</strong>
<br>
<em>*Required for document processing.</em>
<p>
<strong>START</strong> takes no arguments. It simply instructs
<strong>mom</strong> to begin document processing. If you don't
want document processing (i.e. you only want the
<a href="typesetting.html#MACROS_TYPESETTING">typesetting macros</a>),
don't use <strong>START</strong>.
<p>
At a barest minimum before <strong>START</strong>, you must enter a
