UNFORMAT [U] disables formatting and types the text as it appears in
the ".TXT" file. Paragraphing is disabled; however, listing remains
enabled with the exception that labeling is turned off.
2.0 L I N E S
MARGIN n [M n] (Defaults to 0.) sets the left hand margin. MARGIN
should be set before LINESIZE in order for centering to work properly
without the use of NXB's. If MARGIN is used to set a new margin, any
centering within the new margin text will not be properly centered
without the use of NXB's.
LINESIZE n [X n] (Defaults to 80.) sets the right hand margin by
adding the argument to the left margin in use at the time the command
is issued. Subequent changes of the left hand margin will not effect
the right hand margin.
INDENT n [I n] causes the next line to indent by the argument relative
to the margin. Negative arguments are acceptable, provided they to
not exceed the size of the margin.
DI (Defaults to 5.) causes both margins to indent by the argument
relative to the margins in effect at the time the command is issued.
Can be nested 20 deep.
EDI turns off double indenting. CENTER t [C t] centers the text
argument between the margins. See MARGIN for details. NXB's can be
used to adjust centering, but should not be necessary except in
special instances.
LINE n [L n] (Defaults to 0.) forces a break and the number of lines
specified in the argument.
DOUBLE [D] causes double spacing.
SINGLE [S] returns double spacing to single spacing.
JUSTIFY [J] justifies the right hand margin by adding blanks spaces
between words, provided FORMAT is on.
NO JUSTIFY [NJ] disables right-justification.
FLAG NXB c sets the character that will be used as a non-expandable
blank. An NXB can be used to force spaces or link words.
FLAG US c sets the character that toggles underscoring.
UNDERSCORE BS enables underscoring by back spacing (must follow FLAG
US); which permits editing of the ".LST" file, but operates slowly.
UNDERSCORE CR enables underscoring by carriage return (must follow
FLAG US); which will not permit editing of the ".LST" file, but
operates quickly.
BOLD enables bold printing, if the printer or printer driver can use
this feature.
NO BOLD disables bold printing.
3.0 P A R A G R A P H S A N D L I S T S
AUTOPARAGRAPH i s [AP i s] sets automatic paragraphing to occur at any
blank line that is not embeded within a list and FORMAT is on. The
arguments are indent and spacing.
AUTOLIST [ALS] sets automatic listing once a list is initiated with a
LIST command. Lists may be embedded up to 5 deep.
LIST [L] starts automatic listing and arabic numbering with each blank
line.
LIST ALPHA UPPER/LOWER [LSAU/L] starts automatic listing and
alphabetic labeling with each blank line.
LIST ROMAN UPPER/LOWER [LSRU/L] starts automatic listing and Roman
numbering with each blank line.
SET LIST n sets the numerical equivalent of the list within a LIST to
the argument. END LIST backs out of a the most deeply embeded list
currently in effect.
4.0 T I T L E S A N D F O O T E R S
TITLE t [TTL t] (Defaults to chapter or appendix title.) places the
argument at the upper left hand corner of the page, excluding the
first page. NXB can be used to improve positioning.
NOTITLE [NTTL] turns off corner titling.
CENTERED TITLE t [CT t] (Defaults to chapter of appendix title.)
places the argument at the top center of the page, excluding the first
page. NXB can be used to improve positioning.
NO CENTERED TITLE [NCT] turns off centered titling.
FOOTER SPACING n (Defaults to 0.) adds the argument to the PAGESIZE
before outputing the footer text.
FOOTER t places the argument at the lower left corner of the page. A
footer can be turned off by using a blank argument. NXB can be used
to improve positioning.
5.0 P A G I N G
PAGESIZE n (Defaults to 54.) sets the number of lines on a page.
Footers are printed a specified number of lines after the last page
line; unless Bottom-of-page numbering is on, in which case the maximum
FOOTERSPACING is 1 line. Bottom-of-page page numbers are placed 2
lines below the last page line; unless FOOTERSPACING is set =>1, in
which case the number will be placed 3 lines below the last page
number.
PAGE n [P n] (Defaults to forced page.) forces page when the lines
remaining on the page are =<n.
EVEN PAGE [EP] forces paging to even numbered page.
ODD PAGE [OP] forces paging to odd numbered page.
6.0 P A G E N U M B E R I N G
NUMBERING IS RIGHT JUSTIFIED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, UNLESS SPECIFICED
AS "NMB". TO START NUMBERING ON THE FIRST PAGE, SET THE NUMBER TO "0"
BEFORE THE FIRST PAGE AND FORCE ONE PAGE.
NUMBER BOTTOM n [NMB n] (Defaults to current page.) sets current page
number to "n" and centers page number at bottom of page, two lines
below the last page line.
NUMBER NO BOTTOM [NMNB] Turns off bottom of page numbering.
NUMBER ABSOLUTE n [NMABS n] (Defeaults to current page.) maintains
absolute numbering, except when NMH is on, and sets starting page
number. NMABS cannot be turned off once it is turned on. When NMH is
on the embedded page number is used as the number (See NMH).
NUMBER n [NM n] (Defaults to current page.) Sets Arabic page
numbering and sets starting page number. Unless ABSOLUTE or HEADER
numbering is on, paging will be chapter oriented.
NUMBER ROMAN UPPER or LOWER n [NMRU or NMRL n] (Defaults to current
page.) Sets Roman paging and starting page number, but argument must
be Arabic. Unless NMABS or NMH are on, paging will be chapter
oriented.
NONUMBER [NNM] Turns off numbering by NM, NMABS, NMRU, and NMRL.
NUMBER HEADER [NMH] Formats numbering as X-n, where "X" is last header
level 1 number and "n" is the number of pages since the last header
level 1; unless NMABS is in use, in which case the X value will not
print. NMH takes precedence over all other numbering and is not
turned off by NNM.
NO NUMBER HEADER Turns off header oriented numbering.
HEADER PAGE [HP] Prints "PAGE" for top of page numbering.
HEADER NO PAGE [HNP] Turns off "PAGE" header for top of page
numbering.
7.0 H E A D E R S
HEADER UNDERSCORE [HUS] underscores headers, if underscoring has been
enabled.
HEADER NO UNDERSCORE [HNUS] disables header underscoring.
HEADER BOLD [HB] forces headers to printed if bold face, if the
printer or printer driver has the capability.
HEADER NO BOLD [HNB] disables HEADER BOLD.
HEADER EMBED [HE] (Default is true.) places text following headers of
level 3-5 on the same line as the header title.
HEADER NO EMBED [HNE] turns off the output of a hyphen separator and
places text following headers of level 3-5 below the header title with
one blank line of separation.
HEADER LEVEL n t [HL n t] ("n" defaults to 1.) outputs a header at
level number at level "n" from 1 to 5 and follows the number with the
text, "t". Headers at level 1 and 2 are followed by one blank line.
Text following headers at higher levels is output on the same line
with a hyphen for separation, unless HNE is enabled.
SET HEADER LEVEL n m [SET HL n m] sets header numbering at header
level "n" to a count of "m". To operate properly this command must be
followed by a HL command at the same "n" level.
8.0 C H A P T E R S & A P P E N D I X E S
CHAPTER t [CHAP t] pages to an odd page, spaces down 12 lines, outputs
"CHAPTER X", spaces down 2 more lines and outputs "t". Centering is
automatic, but can be modified with NXB's.
SET CHAPTER n [SET CHAP n] sets the chapter number and must be
followed immediately by a CHAP command in order to work properly.
APPENDIX t [APP t] operates the same way as CHAP, except that
appendixes are lettered rather than numbered.
SET APPENDIX c [SET APP c] sets the appendix letter and must be
followed immediately by a APP command in order to work properly.
9.0 T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S A N D I N D E X
TABLE OF CONTENTS [TOC] creates a file with the ".TOC" extension that
contains a table based on chapters, appendixes, and header level
commands. The TOC command should appear before any of these other
commands.
INDEX t [IX t] is placed where the index page number will be most
appropriate and the text, "t", describes the index reference.
SUBINDEX t>t [SX t>t] is placed where the index page number will be
most appropriate. The first "t" argument must be the "t" of a major
index item and the second "t" argument describes the index reference.
DO INDEX [DX] should be the last line in a text file and causes the
index to be assembled.
10.0 B A R
Bar is not operating properly with headers at this time and it is
suggested that it not be used.
