<h2><u>Introduction</u></h2>
</a>
<p>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">Headers</a>
and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>,
as defined in the section
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_MOM">Mom's Document Processing Terms</a>,
are those parts of a document that contain information about the document
itself which appear in the margins either above or below
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>.
They are, in all respects but two, identical. The differences are:
<p>
<ol>
<li>headers appear in the margin <em>above</em> running text while
footers appear in the margin <em>beneath</em> running text;
<li>the (optional) rule that separates headers from running
text appears <em>below</em> the header while
the (optional) rule that separates footers from running
text appears <em>above</em> the footer.
</ol>
<a name="HEADERFOOTER"></a>
<p>
Because headers and footers are virtually identical, this
documentation addresses itself only to headers. In all cases,
unless otherwise noted, descriptions of headers
describe footers as well.
<p>
Furthermore, any
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_CONTROLMACRO">control macro</a>
that begins with <strong>HEADER_</strong> may be used to control
footers, simply by replacing <strong>HEADER_</strong> with
<strong>FOOTER_</strong>.
<p>
<strong>Author's note:</strong> Left to their own devices (i.e. if
you're happy with the way <strong>mom</strong> does things by default),
headers are something you never have to worry about. You can skip
reading this section entirely. But if you want to change them, be
advised that headers have more macros to control their appearance than
any other document element. The text of this documentation becomes
correspondingly dense at this point.
<a name="PAGINATION_NOTE"></a>
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> While the single page number that
<strong>mom</strong> generates in either the top or bottom margin
above or below running text is technically a kind of header/footer,
<strong>mom</strong> and this documentation treat it as a
separate page element.
<a name="DESCRIPTION_GENERAL"><h3><u>General description of headers/footers</u></h3></a>
<p>
Headers comprise three distinct parts: a left part, a center part,
and a right part. Each part contains text (a "string")
that identifies some aspect of the document as a whole.
<p>
The left part ("header left") lines up with the document's
left margin. The center part ("header center") is
centered on the document's line length. The right part ("header
right") lines up with the document's right margin. Not all parts
need contain a string, and if you don't want headers at all, you can
turn them off completely.
<p>
<strong>A note to groff experts:</strong> Although
<strong>mom</strong>'s headers resemble the three-part titles generated
by <code>.tl</code>, they're in no way related to it, nor based
upon it. <code>.tl</code> is not used at all in <strong>mom</strong>.
<p>
Normally, <strong>mom</strong> fills headers with strings appropriate
to the document type selected with
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>.
You can, however, supply whatever strings you like -- including page
numbers -- to go in any part of headers. What's more, you can set the
family, font, size and capitalisation style (caps or caps/lower-case)
for each header part individually.
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> prints a horizontal rule beneath
headers to separate them visually from running text. In the case of
footers, the rule is <em>above</em> running text. You can increase
or decrease the space between the header and the rule if you like (with
<a href="#HDRFTR_RULE_GAP">HEADER_RULE_GAP</a>),
or remove it completely.
<a name="HEADER_STYLE"><h3><u>Default specs for headers/footers</u></h3></a>
<p>
<strong>Mom</strong> makes small type adjustments to each part of
the header (left, center, right) to achieve an aesthetically
pleasing result. The defaults are listed below. (The strings
<strong>mom</strong> puts by default in each part are explained in
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>.)
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Except for capitalization (all caps or
caps/lower-case), these defaults apply only to
<a href="docprocessing.html#PRINTSTYLE">PRINTSTYLE TYPESET</a>.
<p>
<pre>
TYPE SPEC HEADER LEFT HEADER CENTER HEADER RIGHT
--------- ----------- ------------- ------------
Family document default document default document default
Font roman italic roman
All caps no no yes
Size* -.5 (points) -.5 (points) -2 (points)
(-2 if all caps) (-2 if all caps) (-.5 if not all caps)
*Relative to the point size of type in paragraphs
</pre>
You can, of course, change any of the defaults using the appropriate
control macros. And should you wish to design headers from the ground
up, <strong>mom</strong> has a special macro,
<a href="#HDRFTR_PLAIN">HEADER_PLAIN</a>,
that removes all type adjustments to headers. The straightforward
type specs for paragraphs are used instead, providing a simple
reference point for any alterations you want to make to the family,
font, size and capitalisation style of any header part.
<a name="VERTICAL_SPACING"><h3><u>Vertical placement and spacing of headers/footers</u></h3></a>
<p>
As explained in the section on
<a href="typedocmac.html">typesetting macros in document processing</a>,
the top and bottom margins of a <strong>mom</strong> document
are the vertical start and end positions of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>,
not the vertical positions of headers or footers, which, by definition,
appear in the margins <em>above</em> (or below) running text.
<p>
The vertical placement of headers
is controlled by the macro
<a href="#HDRFTR_MARGIN">HEADER_MARGIN</a>,
which establishes the
<a href="definitions.html">baseline</a>
position of headers relative to the <em>top</em> edge of the page.
The header rule, whose position is relative to the header itself,
is controlled by a separate macro.
<strong>FOOTER_MARGIN</strong> establishes the baseline position of
footers relative to the <em>bottom</em> edge of the page.
<p>
<a href="#HDRFTR_GAP">HEADER_GAP</a> establishes
the distance between headers and the <em>start</em> of running text (effectively
making <strong>HEADER_MARGIN + HEADER_GAP</strong> the top margin of
running text unless you give <strong>mom</strong> a literal top margin
(with
<a href="typesetting.html#T_MARGIN">T_MARGIN</a>),
in which case she ignores <strong>HEADER_GAP</strong> and starts
running text at whatever top margin you gave.
<strong>FOOTER_GAP</strong> and
<a href="typesetting.html#B_MARGIN">B_MARGIN</a>
work similarly, except they determine where running text
<em>ends</em> on the page. (See
<a href="#FOOTER_MARGIN">FOOTER MARGIN AND BOTTOM MARGIN -- VERY IMPORTANT!</a>
for a warning about possible conflicts between the footer margin
and the bottom margin.)
<p>
Confused? <strong>Mom</strong> apologizes. It's really quite
simple. By default, <strong>mom</strong> sets headers 4-1/2
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">picas</a>
down from the top of the page and starts running text 3 picas (the
<strong>HEADER_GAP</strong>) beneath that, which means the
effective top margin of running text is 7-1/2 picas (visually approx. 1
inch). If you give <strong>mom</strong> a literal top margin (with
<a href="typesetting.html#T_MARGIN">T_MARGIN</a>),
she ignores the <strong>HEADER_GAP</strong> and starts running
text at whatever top margin you gave.
<p>
Footers are treated the same way, the only difference being the
default distances. <strong>Mom</strong> sets footers 3 picas up from
the bottom of the page, and interrupts the processing of running text 3
picas (the <strong>FOOTER_GAP</strong>) above that (again, visually
approx. 1 inch). If you give <strong>mom</strong> a literal bottom
margin (with <a
href="typesetting.html#B_MARGIN">B_MARGIN</a>), she ignores the
<strong>FOOTER_GAP</strong> and interrupts the processing of running
text at whatever bottom margin you gave.
<p>
If <strong>mom</strong> is paginating your document (she
does, by default, at the bottom of each page), the vertical
spacing and placement of page numbers, whether at the top
or the bottom of the page, is managed exactly as if the
page numbers were headers (or footers), and are controlled
by the same macros. See
<a href="#PAGINATION">Pagination control</a>.
<br>
<hr>
<!========================================================================>
<a name="HEADFOOT_MANAGEMENT">
<h2><u>Managing headers/footers</u></h2>
</a>
<p>
The following are the basic macros for turning
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">headers</a>
or
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>
on or off. They should be invoked prior to
<a href="docprocessing.html#START">START</a>.
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> prints page headers. If you turn
them off, she will begin
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_RUNNING">running text</a>
on each page with a default top margin of 6
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">picas</a>
unless you have requested a different top margin (with
<a href="typesetting.html#T_MARGIN">T_MARGIN</a>)
prior to
<a href="docprocessing.html#START">START</a>.
<p>
Please note that headers and footers are mutually exclusive. If
headers are on, footers (but NOT bottom-of-page numbering) are
automatically turned off. Equally, if footers are on, headers
(but NOT top-of-page numbering) are automatically turned off. Thus, if
you'd prefer footers in a document, you need only invoke
<a href="#FOOTERS">FOOTERS</a>;
there's no need to turn headers off first.
<br>
<!---HEADERS--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="HEADERS"></a>
Macro: <strong>HEADERS</strong> <var>toggle</var>
<p>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">Page headers</a>
are on by default. If you don't want them, turn them off by
invoking <strong>HEADERS</strong> with any argument
(<strong>OFF, QUIT, END, X...</strong>), e.g.
<p>
<pre>
.HEADERS OFF
</pre>
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>HEADERS</strong> automatically
disables
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>
(you can't have both), but not the page numbers that normally
appear at the bottom of the page.
<p>
<strong>ADDITIONAL NOTE:</strong> If <strong>HEADERS</strong>
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). This does NOT apply
to the situation where footers have been explicitly turned on
(with
<a href="#FOOTERS">FOOTERS</a>).
Explicitly invoking footers moves page numbering to the
top of the page, where its placement and spacing are the same as
for headers. (I.e. the top margin of running text remains 7.5
picas.)
<br>
<!---FOOTERS--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="FOOTERS"></a>
Macro: <strong>FOOTERS</strong> <var>toggle</var>
<p>
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">Page footers</a>
are off by default. If you want them instead of
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">headers</a>
(you can't have both), turn them on by invoking
<strong>FOOTERS</strong> without an argument, e.g.
<p>
<pre>
.FOOTERS
</pre>
<p>
<strong>FOOTERS</strong> automatically disables headers, and
<strong>mom</strong> shifts the placement of page numbers from their
normal position at page bottom to the top of the page.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> By default, when footers are on,
<strong>mom</strong> does not print a page number on the first
page of a document, nor on first pages after
<a href="rectoverso.html#COLLATE">COLLATE</a>.
If you don't want this behaviour, you can change it with
<a href="#PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE">PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE</a>.
<br>
<!---FOOTER_ON_FIRST_PAGE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="FOOTER_ON_FIRST_PAGE"></a>
Macro: <strong>FOOTER_ON_FIRST_PAGE</strong> <var>toggle</var>
<p>
If you invoke
<a href="#FOOTERS">FOOTERS</a>,
<strong>mom</strong>, by default, does not print a footer on the
first page of the document. (The
<a href="definitions.html">docheader</a>
on page makes it redundant.) However, should you wish a footer on
page 1, invoke <strong>FOOTER_ON_FIRST_PAGE</strong> without any argument.
<br>
<hr>
<!---USERDEF_HDRFTR--->
<a name="USERDEF_HDRFTR">
<h2><u>User-defined, single string recto/verso headers/footers</u></h2>
</a>
<a name="USERDEF_HDRFTR_INTRO"><h3><u>Introduction</u></h3></a>
Sometimes, you'll find you can't get <strong>mom</strong>'s handling
of 3-part headers or footers to do exactly what you want in the
order you want. This is most likely happen when you want the
information contained in the headers/footers split over two pages,
as is often the case with recto/verso documents.
<p>
Say, for example, you want recto page headers to contain a document's
author, centered, and verso page headers to contain the document's
title, also centered, like this:
<p>
<pre>
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
| Author | | Title |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
</pre>
With <strong>mom</strong>'s standard 3-part headers, this isn't
possible, even when
<a href="rectoverso.html#RECTO_VERSO">RECTO_VERSO</a>
is enabled. <strong>RECTO_VERSO</strong> switches the left and
right parts of headers on alternate pages, but the center
part remains unchanged.
<p>
Anytime you need distinctly different headers on alternate
pages, <strong>mom</strong> has macros that let you manually
design and determine what goes into headers on recto pages, and
what goes into headers on verso pages. The macros are
<a href="#HDRFTR_RECTO">HEADER_RECTO</a>
and
<a href="#HDRFTR_VERSO">HEADER_VERSO</a>.
Both allow you to state whether the header is flush left, centered,
or flush right, and both take a single
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_STRINGARGUMENT">string argument</a>
with which, by combining text and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escapes</a>,
you can make the headers come out just about any way you want.
Use of the <strong>\*[PAGE#]</strong> escape is permitted in the
string argument (see
<a href="#PAGE_NUMBER_INCL">Including the page number in header-left, -center or -right</a>),
and as an added bonus, <strong>mom</strong> provides a special
mechanism whereby it's possible to "pad" the string as well.
<br>
<!---HDRFTR_RECTOVERSO--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="HDRFTR_RECTOVERSO"></a>
Macro: <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> <var>LEFT | CENTER | RIGHT "<header recto string>"</var>
<br>
Macro: <strong>HEADER_VERSO</strong> <var>LEFT | CENTER | RIGHT "<header verso string>"</var>
<br>
<p>
<strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> and <strong>HEADER_VERSO</strong> behave
identically, hence all references to <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong>
in this section also refer to <strong>HEADER_VERSO</strong>.
Furthermore, <strong>FOOTER_</strong> can be used instead of
<strong>HEADER_</strong> to set up recto/verso footers.
<p>
The first argument to <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> is the
direction in which you want the header
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_QUAD">quadded</a>.
<strong>L, C</strong> and <strong>R</strong> may be used in
place of <strong>LEFT, CENTER</strong> and
<strong>RIGHT</strong>. The second argument is a string,
surrounded by double-quotes, containing what you want in the
header. <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> disables <strong>mom</strong>'s
normal 3-part headers, therefore anything you want in the
headers must be entered by hand in the string.
<p>
By default, <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> is set at the same
size, and in the same family and font, as paragraph text. The
control macros
<a href="#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_FAMILY">HEADER_FAMILY</a>
and
<a href="#HDRFTR_GLOBAL_SIZE">HEADER_SIZE</a>
may be used to change the default family and size. Changes to
the font(s) within the string must be accomplished with the
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escapes</a>
<strong>\*[ROM], \*[IT], \*[BD], \*[BDI]</strong> and
<strong>\*[PREV]</strong> (see
<a href="inlines.html#INLINE_FONTS_MOM">Changing fonts</a>).
Additional refinements to the style of the header-recto string,
including horizontal spacing and/or positioning, can also be made with
inline escapes.
<p>
To include the current page number in the string, use the
<strong>\*[PAGE#]</strong> inline.
<h3><u>*Padding the HEADER_RECTO/HEADER_VERSO string</u></h3>
<p>
You can "pad" the header-recto string, a convenience you'll
appreciate in circumstances such as the following.
<p>
<pre>
VERSO RECTO
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
| Author Page# | | Page# Title |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
</pre>
To pad the string argument passed to <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong>,
begin and end the string (inside the double-quotes) with the caret
character (<kbd>^</kbd>). Enter the pound sign (<kbd>#</kbd>) at any
point in the string where you want an equalized amount of whitespace
inserted. (If you're unsure what padding is, see
<a href="goodies.html#PAD">Insert space into lines</a>.)
Note that if you're padding the string, it doesn't matter what
quad direction you give <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> since
padding, by it's nature, justifies text to the left and right
margins.
<p>
The situation depicted above is accomplished like this:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_RECTO LEFT "^\*[PAGE#]#Title^"
.HEADER_VERSO LEFT "^Author#\*[PAGE#]^"
</pre>
Note that <strong>mom</strong> does not interpret the <kbd>#</kbd>
in <strong>\*[PAGE#]</strong> as a padding marker (i.e. as a place
to insert whitespace).
<p>
Also, notice that the argument <strong>LEFT</strong> is used in both
cases. When padding a header, it doesn't matter whether you use
LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT as the argument.
<p>
Furthermore, should you need a user-defined header of
the sort provided by <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> and
<strong>HEADER_VERSO</strong> but aren't actually printing
recto/verso, you can use <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> to design the
header that appears at the top of every page.
<p>
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> The
<a href="goodies.html#PAD_MARKER">PAD_MARKER</a>
macro, which changes the default pad marker (<kbd>#</kbd>) used by
<a href="goodies.html#PAD">PAD</a>,
has no effect on the pad marker used in the
<strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong> string. If you absolutely must
have a literal pound sign in your <strong>HEADER_RECTO</strong>
string, use the escape sequence <kbd>\N'35'</kbd> where you want
the pound sign to go.

<p>
To change the text (the "string") of the left, center,
or right part of headers, invoke the appopriate macro above with
the string you want. For example, <strong>mom</strong>, by default,
prints the document's author in the header-left position. If your
document has, say, two authors, and you want both their names to
appear header-left, change <strong>HEADER_LEFT</strong> like this:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_LEFT "R. Stallman, E. Raymond"
</pre>
Because the arguments to <strong>HEADER_LEFT, _CENTER,</strong>
and <strong>_RIGHT</strong> are
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_STRINGARGUMENT">string arguments</a>,
they must be enclosed in double-quotes.
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Replace <strong>HEADER_</strong>, above,
with <strong>FOOTER_</strong> to change the strings in footers.
<a name="HDRFTR_CENTER_PAD"><h3><u>*Padding the header/footer center string</u></h3></a>
<p>
Macro: <strong>HEADER_CENTER_PAD</strong> <var>LEFT | RIGHT <amount of space by which to pad center string left or right></var>
<br>
<em>*Requires a <a href="definitions.html#TERMS_UNITOFMEASURE">unit of measure</a></em>
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> centres the header centre string
literally on the line length in effect for page headers. In some
cases, notably when the header left or header right strings are
particularly long, the effect isn't pretty. The offendingly long
header left or right crowds, or even overprints, the header centre.
That's where <strong>HEADER_CENTER_PAD</strong> comes in. With a
bit of experimentation (yes, you have to preview the document), you
can use <strong>HEADER_CENTER_PAD</strong> to move the header
centre string left or right until it looks acceptably centred
between the two other strings.
<p>
For example, say your document is an outline for a novel called "By
the Shores of Lake Attica." You've told <strong>mom</strong>
you want
<p>
<a href="docprocessing.html#DOCTYPE">DOCTYPE</a>
<halign="center">
<strong>NAMED</strong> "Outline"
<p>
but when you preview your work, you see that "Outline", in the
centre of the page header, is uncomfortably close to the title,
which is to the right of it. By invoking
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER_PAD RIGHT 3P
</pre>
you can scoot the word "Outline" over three
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_PICASPOINTS">picas</a>
to the left (the padding's added to the right of the string)
so that your head looks nicely spaced out. Invoking
<strong>HEADER_CENTER_PAD</strong> with the <strong>LEFT</strong>
argument obviously puts the padding on the left side of the string.
<p>
Most reassuring of all is that if you use
<strong>HEADER_CENTER_PAD</strong> conjunction with
<a href="rectoverso.html#RECTO_VERSO">RECTO_VERSO</a>,
<strong>mom</strong> will pad the center string appropriately left
OR right, depending on which page you're on, without you having to
tell her to do so.
<br>
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="RESERVED_STRINGS"><h3><u>Using mom's "reserved" strings in header/footer definitions</u></h3></a>
<p>
As pointed out in the author's note in the introduction to
headers/footers, headers and footers are something you don't
normally have to worry much about. <strong>Mom</strong> usually
knows what to do.
<p>
However, situations do arise where you need to manipulate what goes
in the header/footer strings, setting and resetting them as you go
along. A case where you might want to do this would be if you want
to output endnotes at the end of each document in a series of
<a href="rectoverso.html#COLLATE">collated</a>
documents, and you want the word "Endnotes" to go in the header
center position of the endnotes, but want, say, the
<a href="docprocessing.html#TITLE">TITLE</a>
to go back into the center position for the next output document.
<p>
In scenarios like the above, <strong>mom</strong> has a number of
"reserved" strings that you can plug into the
<strong>HEADER_LEFT, _CENTER</strong> and <strong>_RIGHT</strong>
macros. They are:
<p>
<pre>
\*[$TITLE] -- the argument passed to .TITLE
\*[$DOCTITLE] -- the argument passed to .DOCTITLE
\*[$AUTHOR_1] -- the first argument passed to .AUTHOR
\*[$CHAPTER_STRING] -- the argument passed to .CHAPTER_STRING,
if invoked, otherwise, "Chapter"
\*[$CHAPTER] -- the argument (typically a number) passed
to .CHAPTER
\*[$CHAPTER_TITLE] -- the argument passed to .CHAPTER_TITLE
</pre>
Returning to the scenario above, first, you'd define a center
string for the endnotes page:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER "Endnotes"
</pre>
Then, you'd output the endnotes:
<p>
<pre>
.ENDNOTES
</pre>
Then, you'd prepare <strong>mom</strong> for the next document:
<p>
<pre>
.COLLATE
.TITLE "New Doc Title"
.AUTHOR "Josephine Blough"
</pre>
Then, you'd redefine the header center string using the reserved
string \*[$TITLE], like this:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER "\*[$TITLE]"
</pre>
And last, you'd do:
<p>
<pre>
.START
</pre>
Voilą! Any argument you pass to <strong>TITLE</strong> from here
on in (say, for subsequent documents) is back in the header centre
position. Here's the whole routine again:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER "Endnotes"
.ENDNOTES
.COLLATE
.TITLE "New Doc Title"
.AUTHOR "Josephine Blough"
.HEADER_CENTER "\*[$TITLE]"
.START
</pre>
If need be, you can concatenate the strings, as in the following
example.
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER "\*[$CHAPTER_STRING] \*[$CHAPTER]"
</pre>
which, assuming a <strong>.CHAPTER_STRING</strong> of
"Chapter" and a <strong>.CHAPTER</strong> of
"2", would put "Chapter 2" in the header centre
position.
<a name="PAGE_NUMBER_SYMBOL">
<h3><u>*Replacing header-left, -center or -right with the page number</u></h3>
</a>
If you would like to have the current page number to appear
header-left, -center, or -right <em>instead</em> of a text
string, invoke the appropriate macro, above, with the single
argument <code>#</code> (the "number" or
"pound" sign). Do <strong>NOT</strong> use
double-quotes. For example,
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_CENTER #
</pre>
will print the current page number in the center part of
headers.
<a name="PAGE_NUMBER_INCL">
<h3><u>*Including the page number in header-left, -center or -right</u></h3>
</a>
If you would like to <em>include</em> the current page number in
the string you pass to <strong>HEADER_LEFT, _CENTER,</strong> or
<strong>_RIGHT</strong>, use the special
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_INLINES">inline escape</a>
<code>\*[PAGE#]</code> in the string argument.
<p>
For example, say you have a document that's ten pages long, and
you want header-right to say "page <whichever> of 10",
invoke <strong>HEADER_RIGHT</strong> as follows:
<p>
<pre>
.HEADER_RIGHT "page \*[PAGE#] of 10"
</pre>
Header-right of page two will read "page 2 of 10",
header-right of page three will read "page 3 of 10",
and so on.

<!---PAGINATE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="PAGINATE"></a>
Macro: <strong>PAGINATE</strong> <var>toggle</var>
<br>
Alias: <strong>PAGINATION</strong>
<p>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> paginates documents (in the bottom
margin). If you'd prefer she not paginate, turn pagination off
by invoking <strong>PAGINATE</strong> with any argument (<strong>OFF,
NO, QUIT, END, X...</strong>), e.g.
<p>
<pre>
.PAGINATE NO
</pre>
To (re)start pagination, invoke <strong>PAGINATE</strong>
without any argument.
<br>
<!---PAGENUMBER--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="PAGENUMBER"></a>
Macro: <strong>PAGENUMBER</strong> <var><number></var>
<p>
As is to be expected, pagination of documents begins at page 1.
If you'd prefer that <strong>mom</strong> begin with a different
number on the first page of a document, invoke
<strong>PAGENUMBER</strong> with the number you want.
<p>
<strong>PAGENUMBER</strong> need not be used only to give
<strong>mom</strong> a "first page" number. It can be used at
any time to tell <strong>mom</strong> what number you want a
page to have. Subsequent page numbers will, of course, be
incremented by 1 from that number.
<br>
<!---PAGENUM_STYLE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="PAGENUM_STYLE"></a>
Macro: <strong>PAGENUM_STYLE</strong> <var>DIGIT | ROMAN | roman | ALPHA | alpha</var>
<p>
<strong>PAGENUM_STYLE</strong> lets you tell
<strong>mom</strong> what kind of page numbering you want.
<p>
<table valign="baseline" summary="pagenumstyle">
<tr><td>DIGIT<td align="center" width="15">=<td>arabic digits (1, 2, 3...)
<tr><td>ROMAN<td align="center" width="15">=<td>upper case roman numerals (I, II, III...)
<tr><td>roman<td align="center" width="15">=<td>lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii...)
<tr><td>ALPHA<td align="center" width="15">=<td>upper case letters (A, B, C...)
<tr><td>alpha<td align="center" width="15">=<td>lower case letters (a, b, c...)</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
<!---PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE"></a>
Macro: <strong>PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE</strong> <var>toggle</var>
<p>
This macro applies only if you've enabled
<a href="#FOOTERS">FOOTERS</a>.
If <strong>FOOTERS</strong> are on, <strong>mom</strong> automatically
places page numbers at the tops of pages except on
the first page of a document (or on first pages after
<a href="rectoverso.html#COLLATE">COLLATE</a>). If you'd
like the page number to appear on "first" pages when
footers are on, invoke <strong>PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE</strong> with
no argument. Any other argument turns the feature off (<strong>OFF,
QUIT, END, X...</strong>).
<p>
As with most of the <a
href="definitions.html#TERMS_CONTROLMACRO">control macros</a>,
<strong>PAGENUM_ON_FIRST_PAGE</strong> can be invoked at any time,
meaning that if you don't want a page number on the very first
page of a document, but do want one on pages that appear after
<strong>COLLATE</strong>, omit it before the first
<a href="docprocessing.html#START">START</a>
of the document, then invoke it either just before or after your
first <strong>COLLATE</strong>.
<br>
<!---DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER--->
<hr width="66%" align="left">
<p>
<a name="DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER"></a>
Macro: <strong>DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER</strong>
<p>
Sometimes, in
<a href="docprocessing.html#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE DRAFT</a>,
the center part of page headers gets overcrowded because of the draft
and revision information that go there by default.
<strong>DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER</strong> is one way to
fix the problem.
<p>
Invoked without an argument, <strong>DRAFT_WITH_PAGENUMBER</strong>
removes draft/revision information from the page headers and attaches
it instead to the document's page numbering, in the form
<p>
<pre>
Draft #, Rev. # / <pagenumber>
</pre>
See the note in
<a href="docprocessing.html#COPYSTYLE">COPYSTYLE DRAFT</a>
for other ways of dealing with crowded page headers when formatting
draft-style copy.

<!---PAGINATE_CONTROL--->
<a name="PAGINATE_CONTROL"><h3><u>Pagination control macros</u></h3></a>
<ol>
<li><a href="#PAGINATE_GENERAL">Family/font/size</a>
<li><a href="#PAGENUM_POS">Page number position (vertical and horizontal)</a>
<li><a href="#PAGENUM_HYPHENS">Enclose page numbers with hyphens (on or off)</a>
</ol>
<br>
<a name="PAGINATE_GENERAL"><h3><u>1. Page number family/font/size</u></h3></a>
<p>
See
<a href="#CONTROL_MACRO_ARGS">Arguments to the control macros</a>.
<p>
<pre>
.PAGENUM_FAMILY default = prevailing document family; default is Times Roman
.PAGENUM_FONT default = roman
.PAGENUM_SIZE default = 0 (i.e. same size as paragraph text)
</pre>
<a name="PAGENUM_POS"><h3><u>2. Page number position</u></h3></a>
<p>
Macro: <strong>PAGENUM_POS</strong> <var>TOP | BOTTOM LEFT | CENTER | RIGHT</var>
<p>
Use <strong>PAGENUM_POS</strong> to change the default position of
automatic page numbering. <strong>PAGENUM_POS</strong> requires
<em>two</em> arguments: a vertical position (TOP or BOTTOM) and a
horizontal position (LEFT or CENTER or RIGHT).
<p>
For example, if you turn both
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_HEADER">headers</a>
and
<a href="definitions.html#TERMS_FOOTER">footers</a>
off (with <code>.HEADERS OFF</code> and <code>.FOOTERS
OFF</code>) and you want <strong>mom</strong> to number your
pages at the top right position, enter
<p>
<pre>
.PAGENUM_POS TOP RIGHT
</pre>
<a name="#PAGENUM_HYPHENS"><h3><u>3. Enclose page numbers with hyphens (on or off)</u></h3></a>
By default, <strong>mom</strong> encloses page numbers between hyphens.
If you don't want this behaviour, invoke the macro
<strong>PAGENUM_HYPHENS</strong> with any argument (<strong>OFF, QUIT, END, X...</strong>),
like this:
<p>
<pre>
.PAGENUM_HYPHENS OFF
</pre>
If, for some reason, you want to turn page number hyphens back
on, invoke the macro without an argument.
