Implementation notes. (Or how to make your own national mm)
|
|
|
|
Different commands:
|
|
|
|
COVER [arg]
|
|
MT [arg [addressee]]
|
|
The arg is part of a filename in mm/*.MT or mm/*.cov.
|
|
This file is read when the macro is executed. Therefore it must be
|
|
put before any text output.
|
|
In each file there are definitions of all extra macros needed for the
|
|
cover sheet. MT files is only for compatibility reasons, and has several
|
|
limits due to that it don't know when the cover starts, and cannot
|
|
change sizes. Use COVER for new coversheet macros.
|
|
|
|
But with MT it is possible to write all of the AT&T covers.
|
|
An example can be found in mm/0.MT.
|
|
|
|
When writing a new cover using COVER, have in mind that the cover
|
|
should print the page with the COVEND macro. This macro
|
|
should be defined by the new macrofile.
|
|
|
|
Here is a part of ms.cov:
|
|
> .\"-----------------
|
|
> .de COVEND
|
|
> .sp |4.2c
|
|
> .cov@print-title
|
|
> .cov@print-authors
|
|
> .cov@print-firm
|
|
> .cov@print-abstract
|
|
> .cov@print-date
|
|
This is important, since COVER disables the page header.
|
|
> .pg@enable-top-trap
|
|
Should begin with page one (normally).
|
|
> .bp 1
|
|
And enable the trap at the page footer.
|
|
> .pg@enable-trap
|
|
> ..
