NAME

mmt − typeset documents

SYNOPSIS

mmt [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

This command is similar to mm(1), except that it typesets its input via troff(1), as opposed to formatting it via nroff(1); mmt uses the mm macro package.  There are options to specify preprocessing by tbl(1) and/or pic(1) and/or eqn(1) and/or grap(1).  The proper pipelines and the required arguments and flags for troff and for the macro packages are generated, depending on the options selected. 

Options specific to mmt are given below.  Any other arguments or flags (e.g., −rC3) that you give mmt are passed to troff. You can put the options in any order, but they must appear before the files arguments.  If you give no arguments, these commands print a list of their 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.

−Ttty_type
creates output for typesetter tty_type (see troff(1)).

−Ddest directs the output to troff device dest (see troff(1)).  Supported values for dest are: 4014 (TEKTRONIX 4014 terminal via the tc(1) filter); and i10 (Imagen Imprint-10 laser printer via di10(1) filter.)

−z Invokes no output filter to process or redirect the output of troff.

mmt reads the standard input when you specify − instead of any files.

HINT

Use the −olist option of troff to specify ranges of pages to be output.  Note, however, that if you call mmt 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.
