+========================================================================
+
+The files in this directory show mom in action.
+
+If you have downloaded and untarrred a version of mom from her
+homepage, you'll see that none of the example files come with
+corresponding PDF (.pdf) files, as they do with pre-compiled
+versions of groff, or groff built from source.
+
+I haven't included the PDF output because I want to keep the mom
+archive as lean as possible. To view the PDF output, process the
+files with pdfmom(1).

+
+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.
