mmt, checkmm
PURPOSE
Typesets documents, manual pages, view graphs, and
slides.
SYNOPSIS
mmt [ options ] [ files ]
mant [ options ] [ files ]
mvt [ options ] [ files ]
mptx [ options ] [ files ]
mt [ options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
These commands are similar to the mm command, except they
typeset their input via troff as opposed to formatting it
via nroff. The mvt, mt, and mant commands are links to
mmt. mmt uses the MM Macro Package (see mm in AIX Oper-
ating System Technical Reference), mvt uses the macro
package for view graphs and slides (see mv in AIX Oper-
ating System Technical Reference), mant uses the manual
page macros, and mt does not use a macro package.
These commands have flags to specify preprocessing by
tbl, cw, or eqn. mmt generates the proper pipelines and
the required arguments for troff and for the macro
package used, depending on the flags selected. These
commands read standard input if you specify a - (minus)
instead of any file names.
The checkmm command can be used to check the input to
mmt.
If the input contains a troff comment line consisting
solely of the string "'\" x "(single quotation mark,
backslash, double quotation mark x), where x is any com-
bination of the three letters c, e, and t and where there
is exactly one blank between the double quotation mark
and x, then the input will be processed through the
appropriate combination of cw, eqn, and tbl, respec-
tively, regardless of the command-line arguments.
Note: Use the -olist argument of troff to specify ranges
of pages to be output. Note, however, that calling these
commands with one or more of the -c, -e, -t, and - argu-
ments together with troff -olist may cause a harmless
"broken pipe" diagnostic if the last page of the document
is not specified in list.
FLAGS
Flags other than the ones listed below are passed to
troff or to the macro package, as appropriate. All flags
must appear before the file names. If you do not provide
any arguments, these commands print a list of their
flags.
-a Invokes the -a flag of troff.
-c Preprocesses the input files with cw.
-e Preprocesses the input files with eqn.
-t Preprocesses the input files with tbl.
-T4014
-Ttek Directs the output to a Tektronix 4014 work
station via the tc command.
