NAME

mm − the MM macro package for formatting documents

SYNOPSIS

mm [ options ] [ files ]

nroff −mm [ options ] [ files ]

nroff −cm [ options ] [ files ] mmt [ options ] [ files ]

troff −mm [ options ] [ files ]

troff −cm [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

This package provides a formatting capability for a very wide variety of documents.  It is the standard package used by the BTL typing pools and documentation centers.  The manner in which a document is typed in and edited is essentially independent of whether the document is to be eventually formatted at a terminal or is to be phototypeset.  See the references below for further details. 

The −mm option causes nroff and troff(1) to use the non-compacted version of the macro package, while the −cm option results in the use of the compacted version, thus speeding up the process of loading the macro package. 

FILES
