To view the PDF output, process the +files with pdfmom(1). + + pdfmom mom-pdf.mom > mom-pdf.pdf + pdfmom sample_docs.mom > sample_docs.pdf + pdfmom slide-demo.mom > slide-demo.pdf + pdfmom -k letter.mom > letter.pdf + pdfmom -k mon_premier_doc.mom > mon_premier_doc.pdf + pdfmom -k typesetting.mom > typesetting.pdf + +The files themselves +-------------------- + +All are set up for US letter papersize except mom-pdf.mom and +mon_premier_doc.mom, which uses A4. + +***typesetting.mom** + +The file, typesetting.mom, demonstrates the use of typesetting tabs, +string tabs, line padding, multi-columns and various indent styles, +as well as some of the refinements and fine-tuning available via +macros and inline escapes. + +Because the file also demonstrates a cutaround using a small picture +of everybody's favourite mascot, Tux, the PDF file, penguin.pdf has +been included in the directory. + +***sample_docs.mom*** + +The file, sample_docs.mom, shows examples of three of the document +styles available with the mom's document processing macros, as well +as demonstrating the use of COLLATE. It also shows off some of +mom's PDF features, including a PDF outline and clickable links in +the printable Table of Contents. + +The last sample, set in 2 columns, demonstrates mom's flexibility +when it comes to designing documents. + +The PRINTSTYLE of this file is TYPESET, to give you an idea of mom's +default behaviour when typesetting a document. + +If you'd like to see how mom handles exactly the same file when the +PRINTSTYLE is TYPEWRITE (ie typewritten, double-spaced), simply +change .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET to .PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE near the top of +the file. + +***letter.mom*** + +This is just the tutorial example from the momdocs, ready for +previewing. + +***slide-demo.mom*** + +The file, slide-demo.mom, demonstrates a slide presentation with +PAUSE and TRANSITION effects. The .pdf created by pdfmom should be +opened in Presentation Mode in a PDF reader (e.g. Okular, Evince, +Acroread). Note that not all transition effects are available in +all PDF readers. + +***mon_premier_doc.mom*** + +The file, mon_premier_doc.mom, is a simple example in French showing +the use of common elements: section headings, paragraphs, lists, table +of contents and clickable links. It should be generated with option -k +as there are some accented letters. + +A few settings were also changed for this French document: +ATTRIBUTE_STRING is used to replace "by" by "par" in the document +header (where the title and the author are displayed). +TOC_HEADER_STRING is used to modity the Table of Content title to +"Table des matières". And finally, INDENT_FIRST_PARAS is used to +indent the first paragraph of a section -- this is the usual +convention in French typesetting. + +***copyright-default.mom/copyright-chapter.mom*** + +These two files demonstrate the correct way to insert a copyright +page into mom documents. "Default" is for DOCTYPE DEFAULT; +"chapter" is for DOCTYPE CHAPTER. + +***mom-pdf.mom*** + +The manual, Producing PDFs with mom and groff. + +***mom.vim*** + +The vim syntax highlighting rules are based on those provided by +Christian V. J. Brüssow (cvjb@cvjb.de). Copy mom.vim file to your +~/.vim/syntax directory; then, if your vim isn't already set up to +do so, enable mom syntax highlighting with + + :syntax enable +or + :syntax on + +***elvis_syntax.new*** + +For those who use the vi clone, elvis, you can paste this file into +your elvis.syn. Provided your mom documents have the extension +.mom, they'll come out with colorized syntax highlighting. The +rules in elvis_syntax aren't exhaustive, but they go a long way to +making mom files more readable. |
