Command Overview This brief overview of the commands available in TFORM presents the
commands categorized by type of command and briefly summarizes the
commands in each category.
Formatting Commands Formatting commands directly control the appearance of the output.
BREAK forces a line break at the point where it appears; TFORM
suspends joining and doesn’t justify the line preceding the
BREAK command. A trigger character by itself, as well as
certain other commands, also causes a line break. BREAK
PARAGRAPHS causes a paragraph break as well as a line
break.
CENTER centers input lines in its scope between the established
margins.
CHANGES prints a change mark in the right margin next to each line
in its scope. Doesn’t cause a break, so you can mark
individual words and phrases; if joining is on, TFORM
marks the lines they’re in.
CONTENTS adds an entry to the table of contents; can also be used to
print partial table of contents (up to this point) on demand.
FOOTER defines footer strings to print at the bottom of the page.
You can have up to 10 footers, up to three fields in each
(left-, center-, and right-justified), for the first page, odd
pages, and even pages.
HEADER defines header strings to print at the top of the page. You
can have up to 10 headers, up to three fields in each (left-,
center-, and right-justified), for the first page, odd pages,
and even pages.
INDENT indents specified amount from the left margin, right
margin, or both, for all input lines in its scope. Normal
formatting continues within the new temporary margins.
