NAME

mmt, mvt − typeset documents, view graphs, and slides

SYNTAX

mmt [ options ] [ files ]
mvt [ options ] [ 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 nroff.  The mmt command uses the MM macro package, while the mvt command uses the Macro Package for View Graphs and Slides.  These two commands have 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 options selected. 

Any other arguments or flags (for example, −rC3) are passed to troff(1) or to the macro package, as appropriate.  Such options can occur in any order, but they must appear before each file argument.  If no arguments are given, these commands print a list of their options. 

OPTIONS

−e Causes these commands to invoke eqn(1) and causes eqn to read the /usr/pub/eqnchar file.  For further information, see eqn(1). 

−t Causes these commands to invoke tbl(1). 

−Tst Directs the output to the MH STARE facility. 

−Tvp Directs the output to a Versatec printer; this option is not available at all UNIX System sites. 

−T4014 Directs the output to a Tektronix 4014 terminal via the tc(1) filter. 

−Ttek Same as −T4014. 

−a Invokes the −a option of troff(1). 

−y Causes mmt to use the non-compacted version of the macros.  For further information, see mm(5).  No effect for mvt . 

These commands read the standard input when − is specified instead of any file names. 

The mvt command is just a link to mmt.

HINT

Use the −olist 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 − options, together with the −olist 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.
