mmt(1M)                                                             mmt(1M)

NAME
     mmt, mvt - typeset document with mm/mv macros

SYNOPSIS
     mmt [options] files

     mvt [options] files

DESCRIPTION
     The mmt and mvt commands are identical and both format their input
     using the troff(1M) text formatter. However, the mmt commands uses the
     mm(5) macro package, while the mvt commands uses the mv(5) macro pack-
     age. There are options to specify preprocessing by eqn(1M) and/or
     tbl(1M) and/or pic(1M) and/or grap(1M). The proper pipelines and the
     required arguments and flags for troff and for the macro package are
     generated, depending on the options selected.

OPTIONS
     options specific to mmt and mvt are given below. Any other arguments
     or flags (e.g. -olist) are passed to troff. You can put options in any
     order, but they must appear before any files. If you give no arguments
     or files, mmt and mvt will print a list of its options.

     -e        invokes eqn; also causes eqn to read the /usr/pub/eqnchar
               file [see eqnchar(5)].

     -t        invokes tbl.

     -p        invokes pic.

     -g        invokes grap, which in turn calls pic.

     -Ttype    creates output for troff device type [see troff(1M)]. Output
               for a recognized device (post, X97.ti10p, X97.ti12p, i300,
               i10, pcl) is sent through the appropriate postprocessor for
               printing. The default device type is post.

     -Ddev     directs the output to device type dev. Supported values for
               dev are:

               post    PostScript laser printer
               lino    Linotronic L200P PostScript-based phototypesetter at
                       MH
               i10     Imagen Imprint-10 laser printer
               i300    Imagen 8/300 laser printer
               xrx     Xerox 4050/8700/9700 printer
               hp      Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer

     -z        invokes no output filter to process or redirect the output
               of troff.

     When you specify - instead of any files, mmt and mvt will read the

mmt(1M)                                                             mmt(1M)

     standard input.

NOTE
     Use the -olist option of troff to specify a subset or range of pages
     to be output. Note, however, that if you call mmt or mvt with one or
     more of the -e, -t, -p, -g, and - options together with the -olist
     option of troff, you may cause a harmless "broken pipe" diagnostic if
     the last page of the document is not specified in list.

EXAMPLES
     To process input with troff and the mm macros, and preview the output
     on a local PostScript printer:

          mmt -Tpost -Dpost filename

     Then, to print that document on the phototypesetter:

          mmt -Tpost -Dlino filename

     To process input with troff and the mv macros, and generate view graph
     copies on a local PostScript printer:

          mvt -Tpost -Dpost filename

     To process input with tbl, eqn, pic, grap, and troff with the mm mac-
     ros with a base point size of 10 and send output to the centralized
     Xerox 4050 printer at your location:

          mmt -g -p -t -e -TX97.ti10p -Dxrx filename

     To process input with tbl and troff using the mv macros and generate
     view graph copies on your Imagen 8/300 printer via a local spooling
     command:

          mvt -t -Ti300 -z | spool -dhoney

     Note: The -z option is needed to allow special postprocessing func-
     tions or commands.

DIAGNOSTICS
     "mmt: no input file" or "mvt: no input file"
          if none of the arguments is a readable file and the command is
          not used as a filter.
