USING DOT COMMANDS
Page Headings:
Use the .HE command to specify the text of a one-line
heading to be printed at the top of each page. Example:
.HE USING DOT COMMANDS
When composing a header on the screen, keep in mind that the ".HE" and the
space after it takes four columns that won't print, so the header will display
four characters to the right of where it will print. A right-aligned heading
may be produced, for example, by entering spaces between the .HE and the
header text .
• HE
Section 5
If
you wish the page number to be printed at the top of the page, give a .HE
command with a "II" in the position where you wish the page number printed.
For example, if you want the word "Page" followed by the page number at the
top left of each page, use the following dot command:
.HE page II
When composing a heading containing a II, remember that the number of
columns occupied by the page number will depend on the number of digits in
the page number. When printing the page number at the top of the page but
not using a footing (no .FO command), it is necessary to give a .oP command
to prevent the 820-11 from printing the page number again at the bottom of
the page. The .HE command should precede the .OP command.
The heading may be changed as often as desired.
To go back to no heading,
give a blank heading:
.HE
Each .HE takes effect at the NEXT page to be encountered; if it occurs before
any text has been printed on the current page (for example, immediately after
a .PA command), it will be used on the current page.
The number of lines between the heading and text can be changed with the
.HM (heading margin) command. This command moves the heading, without
altering the page length or the position of the text on the page; the heading
margin falls within the top margin.
No heading will be printed if the top margin (.MT) is set to zero.
Underline, Bold and other enhancements invoked by print control characters
may be used in headings (and footings).
Print controls in .HE (and .FO)
commands do not affect the body of the text, nor do those in the body of the
text affect the heading (or footing).
If
you vary the character width, the
heading (or footing) will be printed in the character width that was in effect
when the .HE (.FO) command was given. However, if CTRL
&.
5
+
A or CTRL
&.
5
+
N is used within the heading (or footing), the pitch in effect at each
time the heading is printed will be used.
