<h2><a name="INTRO_MACROS_DOCPROCESSING"><u>Introduction to document processing</u></a></h2>
<p>
As explained in
<a href="intro.html#INTRO_DOCPROCESSING">Document processing with mom</a>,
document processing uses markup tags to identify document elements
like 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, typewrittten,
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.
<br>
<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 centered, 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).
<br>
<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 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 done 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>.

<h3><u>Tutorial -- Setting up a mom document</u></h3>
</a>
<p>
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>SUBTITLE
<li>AUTHOR
<li>CHAPTER -- the chapter number
<li>DRAFT -- the draft number
<li>REVISION -- the revision number
</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.
<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
.PS 12
.LS 14
.QUAD LEFT \"ie. 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
.PS 12
.LS 14
.QUAD LEFT \"ie. 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>
The subtitle string can be caps or caps/lower-case. Since a

to use the word for chapter in your own language by telling
her what it is with the <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong> macro,

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

<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>'s 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
<a href="#CHAPTER">CHAPTER</a>).
Page headers contain the author, the title of the book (which
you gave with
<a href="#TITLE">TITLE</a>),
and "Chapter #". (See
<a href="headfootpage.html#HEADER_STYLE">Default Specs for Headers</a>

<p>
<em>*See the

<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

as well as in page headers.
(See

<a name="CHAPTER_NOTE"><h3><u>Special Note on CHAPTER</u></h3></a>
In novels, new chapters are generally (but not always)
introduced by "Chapter #". Other types of documents
(reports and so on) often require specific titles for chapters.
If your document is of this latter type, use <strong>DOCTYPE

<p>
<ol>
<li>Omit the
<a href="#REFERENCE_MACROS">reference macro</a>
<a href="#CHAPTER">CHAPTER</a>
<li>Invoke
<a href="#CHAPTER_STRING"><code>.CHAPTER_STRING</code></a>
with the title you'd like the chapter to have (enclosed
in double-quotes, of course).
<li>Optionally, if you'd like the chapter title to appear
in the the center part of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">page headers</a>
(its default location), invoke
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_CENTER"><code>.HEADER_CENTER</code></a>
with the same title you gave to <strong>CHAPTER_STRING</strong>.

<p>
<a name="PRINTSTYLE"></a>
Macro: <strong>PRINTSTYLE</strong> <var>TYPESET | TYPEWRITE [ SINGLESPACE ]</var>
<br>
<em>*Required for document processing.</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>
<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>
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.

In <strong>PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</strong>, <strong>mom</strong>,

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>
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

To turn underlining of quotes back on, use
<strong>UNDERLINE_QUOTES</strong> without an argument.
<p>
While most of the

is an important exception:
<a href="headfootpage.html#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_SIZE">HEADER_SIZE</a>

particularly useful for reducing the point size of

<strong>DRAFT</strong> starts your document on page 1, regardless
of whether you've requested a different starting page number
with

no draft or revision number appears in the page headers.

Other macros that deal with type style, or refinements thereof

<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.

<strong>Mom</strong> uses <strong>DOC_LEAD_ADJUST</strong> with
her default document settings, but if you invoke
<a href="typesetting.html#LS">LS</a>
or

prior to
<a href="#START">START</a>,
you have to do
<p>

in order to enable it.
<p>
If you don't like the idea of <strong>mom</strong> playing around
with the leading by default, you can turn adjusting off with
<p>
<pre>
.DOC_LEAD_ADJUST OFF
</pre>
In this scenario, the maximum number of lines that fit on a page at
the current document leading determine where <strong>mom</strong> ends
a page. The effect will be that last lines usually fall (slightly)
short of your expected bottom margin.

<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
your document in the same place she would if the docheader were there.
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.
The distance you give 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>grops</strong> man page for usage).
<a name="DOCHEADER_CONTROL"><h3><u>How to change the look of docheaders: docheader control macros</u></h3></a>
<p>
With
<a href="#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE</a>,
the look of docheaders is carved in stone.
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>
The
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FAMILY">family</a>
is the prevailing family of the whole document.
<h3><u>The docheader macros to:</u></h3>
<ol>
<li><a href="#CHANGE_START">Change the starting position</a>
<li><a href="#ADJUST_LEADING">Adjust the leading</a>
<li><a href="#CHANGE_FAMILY">Change the family of docheader elements</a>
<li><a href="#CHANGE_FONT">Change the font of docheader elements</a>
<li><a href="#CHANGE_SIZE">Adjust the size of docheader elements</a>
<li><a href="#CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE">Change the attribution string ("by")</a>
</ol>
<p>
<a name="CHANGE_START"><h3><u>1. Change the starting position</u></h3></a>
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.
<a name="ADJUST_LEADING"><h3><u>2. Adjust the leading</u></h3></a>
The
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_LEADING">leading</a> of
docheaders is the same as running text. If you'd like a
different leading, say, 2 points more than the lead of running
text, use:
<p>
<pre>
.DOCHEADER_LEAD +2p
</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). The
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a>
is also required.
<a name="CHANGE_FAMILY"><h3><u>3. Change the family of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
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> <var><family></var>
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_FAMILY</strong> <var><family></var>
<li><strong>AUTHOR_FAMILY</strong> <var><family></var>
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_FAMILY</strong> <var><family></var> (if
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
</ul>
<p>
Simply pass the appropriate macro the family you want.
<a name="CHANGE_FONT"><h3><u>4. Change the font of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
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> <var>R | B | I | BI</var>
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_FONT</strong> <var>R | B | I | BI</var>
<li><strong>AUTHOR_FONT</strong> <var>R | B | I | BI</var>
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_FONT</strong> <var>R | B | I | BI</var> (if
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
</ul>
<p>
Simply pass the appropriate macro the font you want. <strong>R,
B, I</strong> and <strong>BI</strong> have the same meaning as
they do for
<a href="typesetting.html#FONT">FT</a>.
<a name="CHANGE_SIZE"><h3><u>5. Adjust the size of docheader elements</u></h3></a>
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, 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> <var><+/-points></var>
<br>
default = +3.5 (+4 if docheader title is "Chapter #")
<li><strong>SUBTITLE_SIZE</strong> <var><+/-points></var>
<br>
default = +0
<li><strong>AUTHOR_SIZE</strong> <var><+/-points></var>
<br>
default = +0
<li><strong>DOCTYPE_SIZE</strong> <var><+/-points></var> (if
<a href="#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a> is NAMED)
<br>
default = +3
</ul>
<p>
Simply pass the appropriate macro the size adjustment you want.
<a name="CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE"><h3><u>6. Change the attribution string ("by")</u></h3></a>
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]\*S[-2p] by \*S[+2p]\*[PREV]"
</pre>
would set "by" in Helvetica bold italic, 2 points
smaller than normal.
<br>
<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).
<br>
<!---COLUMNS--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<a name="COLUMNS"><h3><u>COLUMNS</u></h3></a>
<br>
Macro: <strong>COLUMNS</strong> <var><number of columns> <width of gutters></var>
<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>Breaking columns manually</u></h3>
<p>
<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>Initiate 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>.
<br>
<!---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
