IN Command
\IN filename
The TFORMCVT output is:
\SOURCE filename
\COMMENT ^ WARNING****SOURCE FILE MAY NEED TRANSLATION. LINE: n
As described under “TFORMCVT Diagnostic Messages,” translation of an
IN command always causes a warning message to be included because
TFORMCVT can’t tell if the file to be sourced in is a TFORM file.
JOIN Command
\JOIN ON
The TFORMCVT output is:
\SET JOIN ON
\JOIN OFF
The TFORMCVT output is:
\SET JOIN OFF
Tips
If JOIN is ON and a box is being constructed, TFORMCVT issues
commands to turn off joining explicitly for the scope of the box.
TGAL always removes blank lines that occur at the top of a page.
TFORM removes top-of-page blank lines only when joining is on.
Also, when joining is on, TGAL retains any extra spaces between
words in text; TFORM removes them.
