Model Templates : Template for nroff

Template for nroff

Whereas the previous templates in this section produced reports that were formatted by DGL WRITE statements, the templates in the following two sections contain commands specific to various formatting languages.

After a template is executed, the generated information, together with the embedded formatting commands for a particular formatting system, is passed to the output document segments. The file can then be further processed by a formatting system so the embedded formatting instructions are executed to produce the final document.

The following sections show how to use embedded formatting commands to produce the final document, which is similar to the one documented in Overview of Documentor. They are different in their chapter and section headers.

This section explains the template logic for nroff. Because Interleaf has a slightly different logic, especially with regards to plot generation, it is explained in a separate section. For both templates, the initiation section is the same.
