Printing Level Headings

Using Special TFORM Features

058060 Tandem Computers Incorporated

11–15

Level-0 headings produce a title page, with the heading alone on the page.
TFORM moves to the next odd page after a LEVEL 0 command. TFORM
also begins a new page for each level-1 heading. All level-2 and lower
headings are printed sequentially, following the level-1 heading. TFORM
moves to a new page when it reaches the next level-1 heading.

Note

You can change the default settings for style, format, numbering, and spacing. See the
PS TEXT FORMAT Reference Manual for complete details of the default settings and
instructions for modifying level appearance.

Figure 11-10 shows an edit file which places level headings before sections
of text. Figure 11-11 shows how the printed headings appear in the
document and how text is grouped under level headings.

THE ROLE OF THE EDITOR"

\LEVEL 1 "Introduction"

\SET JOIN ON

This section covers the duties and responsibilities of

the editor in the overall editing process.

\LEVEL 1 "Editing for Style"

Many of our articles are written by more than one writer; thus, your

editing responsibilities include monitoring the consistency and style

throughout each article.

\LEVEL 2 "Using the Second Person"

All articles must address the reader in the second person. The use

of "you" not only personalizes the writing but reduces the anxiety

some readers feel when reading technical information.

\LEVEL 2 "Giving Instructions in Steps"

When the article includes directions, make sure that the writer

uses numbered steps. This breaks down larger sections of information

into understandable units.
