GROFF_MOM(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					      GROFF_MOM(7)

NAME

       groff_mom - groff `mom' macros

SYNOPSIS

       groff -mom [ files... ]
       groff -m mom [ files... ]

DESCRIPTION

       mom  ("my own macros", "my other macros", "maximum overdrive macros", ...) is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents
       for PostScript output.

       mom provides two categories of macros: macros for typesetting and macros for document processing.  The typesetting macros provide access to
       groff's	typesetting  power  in ways that are simpler to master and to use than groff's primitives.  The document processing macros provide
       customizable markup "tags" that allow the user to design and output professional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting  interven-
       tion.

       mom comes with her own (very) complete documentation in HTML format.

FILES

       om.tmac
	      - the main macro file
       mom.tmac
	      - a wrapper file that calls om.tmac directly.

       </usr/share/doc/groff-base/html/mom/toc.html>
	      - entry point to the HTML documentation

       /usr/share/doc/groff-base/examples/mom/*
	      - example files using mom
