- This directory, /usr/lib/ms, contains various macro files used
- by the -ms package, along with various scripts that are useful
- for text formatting. These scripts are not supported commands--
- they are examples that may assist you with document preparation.
- These scripts are described below:
-
- endnote
- -------
- This program takes -ms footnotes (text placed between .FS and .FE
- macros) and moves them to the end of your output. It should be
- used with numbered footnotes, which are entered like this:
-
- this is best explained by Hodgkins.\**
- .FS
- Arthur Hodgkins, \fIThe Bone Marrow,\fP
- Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1982.
- .FE
-
- When you want to produce numbered endnotes instead of footnotes,
- you can run the program as follows:
-
- % /usr/lib/ms/endnote filename(s) | nroff -ms
-
- Other nroff options, such as -T to specify terminal type, may
- also be given. If you're using refer, tbl, or eqn, they should
- follow /usr/lib/ms/endnote, in the proper order. The endnote
- program creates the file "endnotes" in the working directory;
- the file is removed afterward endnote finishes. If this file
- already exists, the program exits with an error message.
-
- After a while you may find it more convenient to copy this script
- to your own directory, rather than saying /usr/lib/ms/endnote
- every time you want to run it. To do this, type:
-
- % cp /usr/lib/ms/endnote endnote
- % chmod +x endnote
-
- The first command will copy it into your working directory, and
- the second will make it executable.
-
- swapacc
- -------
- This program takes accent marks in the old -ms format (where they
- come before the accented letter) and changes them into the new .AM
- format (where the come after the accented letter).
-
- Old format: t\*'el\*'ephone
- New format: te\*'le\*'phone
-
- The swapacc program is best run from inside the editor:
-
- :1,$ ! /usr/lib/ms/swapacc
-
- The first to the last lines of the editor buffer will be sent to
- the shell, which will run /usr/lib/ms/swapacc, and then return
- all lines to where they were before.
