Tips
If a trigger character occurs in the text string, it appears as four triggers
in the TFORM string to ensure that TFORM accepts the character
properly.
When the number specified is zero, the argument to the PAGE
command is OFF, not 0, and the page-number character (#) doesn’t
appear in the text string. For example, when the TGAL command is:
\SECT " text " 0
The TFORMCVT output is:
\FOOTER 2; PAGE OFF; FOOTER 2 " | | text "
When ALT is turned ON or OFF, the section is updated accordingly;
see the ALT command translation description for details.
