COMMAND: TEXTFORM (Text Formatter) DOCUMENTATION : On-line
FUNCTION: Prints text files containing WordStar formatting commands.
FORMAT: TEXTFORM [d:]filespec [[d:]filespec]
TYPE: Public domain software (T. Jennings)
REMARKS: The first filespec is the file to be printed and the second filespec,
if present, is an optional output file. The default output device is
the printer. If no files are specified, a help message is displayed.
The formatting commands available are:
.pa Causes printing to start at the top of the next page.
.he <text> Causes the specified text to be printed on the first
line of all succeeding pages.
.sh <text> Causes the specified text to be printed on the second
line of all succeeding pages.
Two special characters can be used in headers and
sub-headers: # is replaced by the current page number
and % is replaced by the decimal value of .flag.
.mt <number> Sets the top margin (default=5).
.mb <number> Sets the bottom margin (default=5).
.pl <number> Sets the number of lines per page (default=66).
.lm <number> Sets the left margin (default=8).
.pn <number> Sets the current page number.
.flag <number> Sets the current value of the user flag. When
the value of .flag is 0, all lines bracketted
by .ifflag ... .endif are not printed. When
.flag is non-zero, such braketted lines are
printed normally (default=0).
.ifflag Begins a block of text to be conditionally printed.
.endif Ends a block of text to be conditionally printed.
