TRANSPARENT
Command
Use the TRANSPARENT command to print TGAL command lines as text. TGAL
considers all lines between TRANSPARENT commands as text, including those lines
which start with a trigger character.
The syntax of the TRANSPARENT command is:
TRANSPARENT
... text ...
TRANSPARENT
Considerations
If you put a TRANSPARENT command alone on a line, then TGAL ignores all
commands following a TRANSPARENT command and treats all commands as
text. We recommend you use the TRIGGER command when you include
commands as text.
You can use the TRANSPARENT command to print the character specified in the
BLANK command.
Examples
These examples show the TRANSPARENT command being used for network names
and TGAL commands.
1. This example shows a network name in a paragraph.

I have put the MAIL document in a file on our system with
network access. So, all you have to do is edit this file:
\newyork.$system.docs.maildoc.
\TRANSPARENT
TGAL produces:
