MS(7) MS(7) NAME ms - text formatting macros SYNOPSIS nroff -ms [ options ] file ... troff -ms [ options ] file ... DESCRIPTION This package of nroff and troff macro definitions provides a formatting facility for various styles of articles, theses, and books. When pro‐ ducing 2-column output on a terminal or lineprinter, or when reverse line motions are needed, filter the output through col(1). All exter‐ nal -ms macros are defined below. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package. However, the first four requests below may be used with impunity after initialization, and the last two may be used even before initialization: .bp begin new page .br break output line .sp n insert n spacing lines .ce n center next n lines .ls n line spacing: n=1 single, n=2 double space .na no alignment of right margin Font and point size changes with \f and \s are also allowed; for exam‐ ple, ‘‘\fIword\fR’’ will italicize word. Output of the tbl, eqn, and refer(1) preprocessors for equations, tables, and references is accept‐ able as input. FILES /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.x /usr/lib/ms/x.??? SEE ALSO eqn(1), refer(1), tbl(1), troff(1) REQUESTS Macro Initial Break? Explanation Name Value Reset? .AB x - y begin abstract; if x=no don’t label abstract .AE - y end abstract .AI - y author’s institution .AM - n better accent mark definitions .AU - y author’s name .B x - n embolden x; if no x, switch to boldface .B1 - y begin text to be enclosed in a box .B2 - y end boxed text and print it .BT date n bottom title, printed at foot of page .BX x - n print word x in a box .CM if t n cut mark between pages .CT - y,y chapter title: page number moved to CF (TM only) .DA x if n n force date x at bottom of page; today if no x .DE - y end display (unfilled text) of any kind .DS x y I y begin display with keep; x=I,L,C,B; y=indent .ID y 8n,.5i y indented display with no keep; y=indent .LD - y left display with no keep .CD - y centered display with no keep .BD - y block display; center entire block .EF x - n even page footer x (3 part as for .tl) .EH x - n even page header x (3 part as for .tl) .EN - y end displayed equation produced by eqn .EQ x y - y break out equation; x=L,I,C; y=equation number .FE - n end footnote to be placed at bottom of page .FP - n numbered footnote paragraph; may be redefined .FS x - n start footnote; x is optional footnote label .HD undef n optional page header below header margin .I x - n italicize x; if no x, switch to italics .IP x y - y,y indented paragraph, with hanging tag x; y=indent .IX x y - y index words x y and so on (up to 5 levels) .KE - n end keep of any kind .KF - n begin floating keep; text fills remainder of page .KS - y begin keep; unit kept together on a single page .LG - n larger; increase point size by 2 .LP - y,y left (block) paragraph. .MC x - y,y multiple columns; x=column width .ND x if t n no date in page footer; x is date on cover .NH x y - y,y numbered header; x=level, x=0 resets, x=S sets to y .NL 10p n set point size back to normal .OF x - n odd page footer x (3 part as for .tl) .OH x - n odd page header x (3 part as for .tl) .P1 if TM n print header on 1st page .PP - y,y paragraph with first line indented .PT - % - n page title, printed at head of page .PX x - y print index (table of contents); x=no suppresses title .QP - y,y quote paragraph (indented and shorter) .R on n return to Roman font .RE 5n y,y retreat: end level of relative indentation .RP x - n released paper format; x=no stops title on 1st page .RS 5n y,y right shift: start level of relative indentation .SH - y,y section header, in boldface .SM - n smaller; decrease point size by 2 .TA 8n,5n n set tabs to 8n 16n ... (nroff) 5n 10n ... (troff) .TC x - y print table of contents at end; x=no suppresses title .TE - y end of table processed by tbl .TH - y end multi-page header of table .TL - y title in boldface and two points larger .TM off n UC Berkeley thesis mode .TS x - y,y begin table; if x=H table has multi-page header .UL x - n underline x, even in troff .UX x - n UNIX; trademark message first time; x appended .XA x y - y another index entry; x=page or no for none; y=indent .XE - y end index entry (or series of .IX entries) .XP - y,y paragraph with first line exdented, others indented .XS x y - y begin index entry; x=page or no for none; y=indent .1C on y,y one column format, on a new page .2C - y,y begin two column format .]- - n beginning of refer reference .[0 - n end of unclassifiable type of reference .[N - n N= 1:journal-article, 2:book, 3:book-article, 4:report REGISTERS Formatting distances can be controlled in -ms by means of built-in num‐ ber registers. For example, this sets the line length to 6.5 inches: .nr LL 6.5i Here is a table of number registers and their default values: Name Register Controls Takes Effect Default PS point size paragraph 10 VS vertical spacing paragraph 12 LL line length paragraph 6i LT title length next page same as LL FL footnote length next .FS 5.5i PD paragraph distance paragraph 1v (if n), .3v (if t) DD display distance displays 1v (if n), .5v (if t) PI paragraph indent paragraph 5n QI quote indent next .QP 5n FI footnote indent next .FS 2n PO page offset next page 0 (if n), ∼1i (if t) HM header margin next page 1i FM footer margin next page 1i FF footnote format next .FS 0 (1, 2, 3 available) When resetting these values, make sure to specify the appropriate units. Setting the line length to 7, for example, will result in out‐ put with one character per line. Setting FF to 1 suppresses footnote superscripting; setting it to 2 also suppresses indentation of the first line; and setting it to 3 produces an .IP-like footnote para‐ graph. Here is a list of string registers available in -ms; they may be used anywhere in the text: Name String’s Function \*Q quote (" in nroff, ‘‘ in troff ) \*U unquote (" in nroff, ’’ in troff ) \*- dash (-- in nroff, — in troff ) \*(MO month (month of the year) \*(DY day (current date) \** automatically numbered footnote \*´ acute accent (before letter) \*` grave accent (before letter) \*^ circumflex (before letter) \*, cedilla (before letter) \*: umlaut (before letter) \*~ tilde (before letter) When using the extended accent mark definitions available with .AM, these strings should come after, rather than before, the letter to be accented. BUGS Floating keeps and regular keeps are diverted to the same space, so they cannot be mixed together with predictable results. 4th Berkeley Distribution May 20, 1985 MS(7)
