The letters used for the labels are lowercase by default. If you want to
use capital letters, add the keyword UPPER to the BEGIN LIST
ALPHABETIC command. If your alphabetic list contains more than
26 items, TFORM automatically begins doubling the letters, using “aa.”
and so on for the labels following “z.”
4. To create a Roman-numeral list, simply change your BEGIN LIST
command to BEGIN LIST ROMAN. Again, the rest stays the same.
When TFORM formats your output it looks like this:
I. This is the first item.
II. This is the second item.
The Roman numerals are uppercase by default. If you want small
Roman numerals, use the keyword LOWER with the BEGIN LIST
ROMAN command.
Creating Boxes The SET BOX command lets you box in areas of text or blank space.
TFORM automatically adds a two-space indent on each side to provide
margins, inserts one blank line between the top of the box and the first text
line, and inserts another blank line after the last line of text before closing
the box. If joining or justifying is on when you create your box, it remains
in effect inside the box.
To start a box, type:
\SET BOX ON
Begin adding your text that you want enclosed in the box on the next line.
If you want to box a blank space, give TFORM a SPACE command after the
SET BOX ON command; for example:
\SPACE 10 LINES
