mmt(1) mmt(1)
NAME
mmt, mvt - typeset documents, view graphs, and slides
SYNOPSIS
mmt [-e] [-t] [-Tst] [-a] [-y] [files]
mvt [-e] [-t] [-Tst] [-a] [-y] [files]
DESCRIPTION
These two commands are very similar to mm(1), except that
they both typeset their input via troff(1), as opposed to
formatting it via troff; mmt uses the mm macro package,
while mvt uses the Macro Package for View Graphs and Slides.
These two commands have flag options to specify
preprocessing by tbl(1) and/or eqn(1). The proper pipelines
and the required arguments and flags for troff(1) and for
the macro packages are generated, depending on the flag
options selected.
Options are given below. Any other arguments or flags
(e.g., -rC3) are passed to troff(1) or to the macro package,
as appropriate. Such flag options can occur in any order,
but they must appear before the files arguments. If no
arguments are given, these commands print a list of their
flag options.
-e Causes these commands to invoke eqn(1); also causes
eqn to read the /usr/pub/eqnchar file (see
eqnchar(5)).
-t Causes these commands to invoke tbl(1).
-a Invokes the -a flag option of troff(1).
-y Causes mmt to use the non-compacted version of the
macros (see mm(5)). No effect for mvt.
These commands read the standard input when - is specified
instead of any filenames.
mvt is just a link to mmt.
HINT
Use the -olist flag option of troff(1) to specify ranges of
pages to be output. Note, however, that these commands, if
invoked with one or more of the -e, -t, and - flag options,
together with the -olist flag option of troff(1) may cause a
harmless broken pipe diagnostic if the last page of the
document is not specified in list.

DIAGNOSTICS
``m[mv]t: no input file'' if none of the arguments is a
readable file and the command is not used as a filter.
