+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-ms-macros_002c-footers"></a>

+
+<p>There are multiple ways to produce headers and footers. One is to
+define the strings <code class="code">LH</code>, <code class="code">CH</code>, and <code class="code">RH</code> to set the left,
+center, and right headers, respectively; and <code class="code">LF</code>, <code class="code">CF</code>, and
+<code class="code">RF</code> to set the left, center, and right footers. This approach
+suffices for documents that do not distinguish odd- and even-numbered
+pages.
+</p>
+<p>Another method is to call macros that set headers or footers for odd- or
+even-numbered pages. Each such macro takes a delimited argument
+separating the left, center, and right header or footer texts from each
+other. You can replace the neutral apostrophes (<code class="code">'</code>) shown below
+with any character not appearing in the header or footer text. These
+macros are Berkeley extensions.

+<p>The <code class="code">OH</code> and <code class="code">EH</code> macros define headers for odd- (recto)
+and even-numbered (verso) pages, respectively; the <code class="code">OF</code> and
+<code class="code">EF</code> macros define footers for them.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<p>With either method, a percent sign <code class="code">%</code> in header or footer text is
+replaced by the current page number. By default, <samp class="file">ms</samp> places no
+header on a page numbered &ldquo;1&rdquo; (regardless of its number format).
+</p>
+<dl class="first-deffn first-defmac-alias-first-deffn">
+<dt class="deffn defmac-alias-deffn" id="index-_002eP1"><span class="category-def">Macro: </span><span><strong class="def-name"><code class="t">.P1</code></strong><a class="copiable-link" href='#index-_002eP1'> &para;</a></span></dt>
+<dd><a class="index-entry-id" id="index-P1-_005bms_005d"></a>
+<p>Typeset the header even on page&nbsp;1. To be effective, this macro
+must be called before the header trap is sprung on any page numbered
+&ldquo;1&rdquo;; in practice, unless your page numbering is unusual, this means
+that you should call it early, before <code class="code">TL</code> or any heading or
+paragraphing macro. This is a Berkeley extension.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<p>For even greater flexibility, <samp class="file">ms</samp> is designed to permit the
+redefinition of the macros that are called when the <code class="code">groff</code> traps
+that ordinarily cause the headers and footers to be output are sprung.
+<code class="code">PT</code> (&ldquo;page trap&rdquo;) is called by <samp class="file">ms</samp> when the header is to
+be written, and <code class="code">BT</code> (&ldquo;bottom trap&rdquo;) when the footer is to be.
+The <code class="code">groff</code> page location trap that <samp class="file">ms</samp> sets up to format the
+header also calls the (normally undefined) <code class="code">HD</code> macro after
+<code class="code">PT</code>; you can define <code class="code">HD</code> if you need additional processing
+after setting the header (for example, to draw a line below it).
+The <code class="code">HD</code> hook is a Berkeley extension. Any such macros you
+(re)define must implement any desired specialization for odd-, even-, or
+first numbered pages.
