This book contains a general discussion about formatting and an extensive discussion about the UNIX system document formatting facilities. One chapter each is devoted to specifying the document format (MM), and each of the tools for specifying tables (TBL), figures (PIC), and equations (EQN). Other chapters summarize the UNIX system formatter TROFF and the WRITER'S WORKBENCH™ Software. And finally the book contains several MM templates for a variety of documents (such as books), description of UNIX system typesetting commands, a glossary and an annotated bibliography.
