Quick reference guide

Typesetting macros

*See the note Changing document-wide style parameters after START
**Absolutely required if you wish to use the document processing macros.

Special to PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE

*I.e. the "format" of page numbering (digits, roman numerals, letters)

Recto/verso

*Please note that most aspects of page header and footer control are treated identically. In the documentation, the descriptions of macros that control header and footer behaviour usually only mention "HEADER" or "HEADER_". Simply apply "FOOTER" or "FOOTER_" to the appropriate "HEADER" or "HEADER_"macros in order to enable their behaviour for footers.

Automatic columns

*For an in-depth explanation of how to manage the type-style of paragraphs, much of which is normally established through the use of typesetting macros prior to START, see Paragraph control macros.

Quotes
(line-for-line cited text, e.g. poetry or code snippets)

*Note that the use of QUOTE_INDENT sets the indent for both QUOTE and BLOCKQUOTE.

Blockquotes
(formatted citations)

*Note that the use of BLOCKQUOTE_INDENT sets the indent for both BLOCKQUOTE and QUOTE.

Author linebreaks
(also called "scene" or "section" breaks)

*Indenting of footnotes is handled by arguments passed to FOOTNOTE.

Endnotes

Designing endnotes pages
(if you want to change the defaults)

*By default, "Endnotes", at the top of the first page of endnotes
**I.e. how each document in the endnotes for a collated document is identified (by default, the strings passed to the reference macro, .TITLE

Endnotes numbering	Paragraph control	Endnotes headers/footers
ENDNOTE_NUMBER_FAMILY	ENDNOTE_PARA_INDENT	ENDNOTES_ALLOWS_HEADERS
ENDNOTE_NUMBER_FONT	ENDNOTE_PARA_SPACE	ENDNOTES_HEADER_CENTER
ENDNOTE_NUMBER_SIZE		ENDNOTES_FOOTER_CENTER
ENDNOTE_NUMBERS_ALIGN_LEFT
ENDNOTE_NUMBERS_ALIGN_RIGHT

Endnotes page numbering	Misc
ENDNOTES_FIRST_PAGENUMBER	ENDNOTES_NO_COLUMNS
ENDNOTES_PAGENUM_STYLE*	SINGLESPACE_ENDNOTES**
ENDNOTES_NO_FIRST_PAGENUM

*I.e. the format of page numbering (digits, roman, letters)
**Applies to PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE only

Margin notes

*By default, "Table of Contents"

Designing a table of contents
(if you want to change the defaults)

*I.e. the format of page numbering (digits, roman, letters)

Finis

Mom treats all aspects of headers and footers identically. The only difference between the two is whether the information they contain appears at the top of the page or at the bottom. Consequently, in the following, substitute FOOTERS for HEADERS, and FOOTER_ for HEADER_ if you're hunting down how to do something with footers.

Macro	Placement	User-defined headers	General type-style control
HEADERS	HEADER_MARGIN	HEADER_RECTO	HEADER_FAMILY
	HEADER_GAP	HEADER_VERSO	HEADER_SIZE
			HEADER_COLOR
			HEADER_PLAIN

Part-by-part control of headers

This is the one exception to the "HEADER also means FOOTER" convention used throughout the documentation.

FOOTER_ON_FIRST_PAGE

Covers and doc covers

For part-by-part control of the family, font, size and color, please see
