Using Sequential Line
Numbering
If you want TFORM to print sequential line numbers in your right margin,
starting at 1 where the command occurs in the text, then starting over with
1 at the top of the next page, type:
\SET SEQUENCING ON
Six characters must be available in the right margin of your page form for
the sequencing to work. This command stays in effect until you type:
\SET SEQUENCING OFF
Printing Marks
in the Margin
The CHANGES command tells TFORM to print a change mark character
(“|”) in the margin next to each line specified by the command. To turn on
change marking, use the simplest form of the command:
\CHANGES ON
There must be at least two characters available to the right of the line of
your page form to print a blank space and the change mark.
To turn off the insertion of marks, type:
\CHANGES OFF
There are keywords such as BLANK, COMMAND, and int (an explicit
number) to turn CHANGES on and off. Refer to the CHANGES command
in the “TFORM Commands”section for a description of how to use these
keywords. If you want to change the change mark character to some other
character, use the DEFINE CHANGES command.
