The program provides a wide variety of formatting options including multiple column output, page rotation, font selection and page decoration. TTTTeeeexxxxtttt FFFFiiiilllleeee IIIInnnnppppuuuutttt One or more text files can be specified on the command line. If no files are specified on the command line, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s will read from the standard input. Currently, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s can accept plain text files in a number of languages. The program has successfully formatted English, French, German, and Russian (cyrillic) text files and theoretically should be able to handle any language that can be expressed using an Adobe Type 1 font in a horizontal writing direction. _t_e_x_t_2_p_s cannot currently handle Adobe Type 0 composite fonts or vertical writing directions. Besides plain text files, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s can accept text files that contain formatting control characters and special escape sequences. The most common example of such files are formatted _n_r_o_f_f manual pages. _t_e_x_t_2_p_s has successfully handled the complex formatting produced by the _t_b_l and _e_q_n programs. The following control characters and escape sequences are recognized by _t_e_x_t_2_p_s: NNNNaaaammmmeeee CCCChhhhaaaarrrr CCCCooooddddeeee DDDDeeeessssccccrrrriiiippppttttiiiioooonnnn _________________________________________________________ Null 0x00 No action Bell ^G 0x07 Audible bell Backspace ^H 0x08 Reverse one character H Tab ^I 0x09 Forward to next multiple of 8 PPPPaaaaggggeeee 1111 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) Newline ^J 0x0A Start new line V Tab ^K 0x0B Down one line Formfeed ^L 0x0C Begin new page or column Return ^M 0x0D Reverse to start of line Shift Out ^N 0x0E No action Shift In ^O 0x0F No action Esc 0x1B Begin escape sequence Esc-7 Reverse full line feed Esc-8 Reverse half line feed Esc-9 Forward half line feed Esc-D Gaudy header left box text Esc-H Gaudy header filename area text Esc-U Gaudy user comment area text Esc-F Font change sequence See the SSSSppppeeeecccciiiiaaaallll EEEEssssccccaaaappppeeee SSSSeeeeqqqquuuueeeennnncccceeeessss section below for details on the Esc-D, Esc-H, Esc-U and Esc-F sequences. Control characters and escape sequences not listed above will cause _t_e_x_t_2_p_s to issue a warning indicating the offending character and its location in the text file. To prevent inadvertently attempting to format a binary file, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s will terminate the processing of any file that contains more than fifty unrecognized characters unless the ----xxxx option has been specified (see below). To ensure the proper processing of text files the international locale should be established either by setting the LLLLAAAANNNNGGGG environment variable prior to running _t_e_x_t_2_p_s or by using the ----llll command line option. PPPPoooossssttttSSSSccccrrrriiiipppptttt OOOOuuuuttttppppuuuutttt _t_e_x_t_2_p_s produces Level 1 PostScript code formatted in compliance with the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions, Version 3.0. The output data is 7-bit clean even when the input data is not. By default, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s writes its PostScript output to the standard output. CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd LLLLiiiinnnneeee OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss The command line option switches for _t_e_x_t_2_p_s are compatible with the upper case version of the _l_p_t_o_p_s program option letters. _t_e_x_t_2_p_s provides additional functionality typically using lowercase option letters. ----pppp _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e Specifies the name of the file to which the PostScript output will be written. If the ----pppp option is not specified, output will be sent to the standard output. ----zzzz _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e By default, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s sends its error, warning and information messages to the standard error. The ----zzzz option specifies the name of a file to which these messages should be redirected. If the file specified already exists, any messages generated by _t_e_x_t_2_p_s will be appended to the end of the file. PPPPaaaaggggeeee 2222 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) ----JJJJ _p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e Specifies the name of a printer for which the text is to be formatted. _p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e is the name of the printer as registered with the printer spooling system (see _p_r_i_n_t_e_r_s(1M) for information on printer installation). The printer may be physically attached to the system or it may be a network printer. Specifying a printer allows _t_e_x_t_2_p_s to obtain detailed printer configuration information such as the currently loaded page size, available fonts and physical margins. This information is used to provide the optimum formatting of the text file for the specified printer. If the ----JJJJ option is not specified, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s assumes a default target environment consisting of an A size page with 0.5 inch margins. If the resulting PostScript file is subsequently sent to a printer whose printing area is smaller than the default, the text will be scaled to fit the target page. When scaling is performed, the aspect ratio of the original page is maintained. ----ssss _p_a_g_e_S_i_z_e Specifies a page size to use when formatting text. The default page size is AAAA (8.5 by 11.0 inches). _p_a_g_e_S_i_z_e may be specified either as the name of a page size (e.g. A, B, Ledger, Monarch) or explicitly using page dimensions. The syntax for specifying page dimensions is <width>x<height>[<units>] where <units> may be iiiinnnn, ccccmmmm, mmmmmmmm, pppptttt for inches, centimeters, millimeters and points respectively. If <units> is not specified, inches are assumed. Thus, a B size page may be specified by setting _p_a_g_e_S_i_z_e to BBBB or 11111111xxxx11117777iiiinnnn. If a printer has not been specified (see ----JJJJ option above), _t_e_x_t_2_p_s looks up the dimensions corresponding to a page size name in the file /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_p_r_i_n_t/_d_a_t_a/_t_e_x_t_2_p_s_P_a_g_e_S_i_z_e_s. If a printer has been specified, it is queried for the dimensions of the specified page size name. If the page size is not supported on the printer, the disk based page size table is used. If a page size name is not found on the printer and in the disk based table, the default, A size, is used. Refer to the /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_p_r_i_n_t/_d_a_t_a/_t_e_x_t_2_p_s_P_a_g_e_S_i_z_e_s for a list of the supported page size names and for instructions on how to add new page sizes. ----FFFF _f_o_n_t_N_a_m_e[_s_i_z_e] Specifies the font and, optionally, point size to use for the body text. The body text is all text on the page excluding the page header. The default body font is Courier10. _f_o_n_t_N_a_m_e may be any Adobe Font Metric (AFM) file name or one of the font name abbreviations listed in the FFFFoooonnnntttt NNNNaaaammmmeeee AAAAbbbbbbbbrrrreeeevvvviiiiaaaattttiiiioooonnnnssss section below. By default, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s looks in the directory PPPPaaaaggggeeee 3333 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_D_P_S/_A_F_M for font metric files. If the metric file for a specified font name cannot be found, the Courier font is substituted. If _s_i_z_e is not specified, the default point size will be used. The default point size is 10 but may be changed using the ----PPPP option. Examples of valid font specifications are Courier and Courier14. ----FFFF %%%%{aaaa-zzzz}_f_o_n_t_N_a_m_e[_s_i_z_e] _t_e_x_t_2_p_s allows up to 26 fonts to be registered for later use. A font is registered by prefixing the font specification with a %%%% and a lower case letter between aaaa and zzzz inclusive. By embedding special escape sequences (see section below) in a text file, it is possible to dynamically change the font used when formatting the file. _t_e_x_t_2_p_s automatically registers the following fonts: SSSSppppeeeecccciiiiffffiiiiccccaaaattttiiiioooonnnn PPPPuuuurrrrppppoooosssseeee __________________________________________________ %rCourier10 Default body font %hCourier-Bold10 Simple header font %lTimes-Bold12 Gaudy header time/date font %cTimes-Roman14 Gaudy header file pathname font %pHelvetica30 Gaudy header page number font Note that the %l, %c and %p fonts are registered only when the ggggaaaauuuuddddyyyy page style is used. ----PPPP _f_o_n_t_S_i_z_e Specifies the point size to use with fonts that have been specified only by name (e.g. Courier as opposed to Courier14). The default point size is 10. Note that all font sizes are expressed in units of points. Any units specified as part of _f_o_n_t_S_i_z_e will be silently ignored and the value will be assumed to be expressed in points. ----oooo _o_r_i_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n If _o_r_i_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n is specified as rrrroooottttaaaatttteeee the entire output page will be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Using this option, landscape oriented output can be obtained on a portrait page. nnnnoooorrrroooottttaaaatttteeee, the default, can be specified to disabled page rotation. ----SSSS _p_a_g_e_S_t_y_l_e Specifies the page decoration to be used. One of the following values of _p_a_g_e_S_t_y_l_e may be specified: ppppllllaaaaiiiinnnn Indicates that no page decoration is to be used. This is the default style. ppppaaaaggggeeeennnnuuuummmm[,,,,[ttttbbbb][llllccccrrrr] Places a page number at the specified location on the page. The default page number location is at the top, PPPPaaaaggggeeee 4444 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) center of the page. A different location can be specified by placing a comma after the ppppaaaaggggeeeennnnuuuummmm value and then specifying a letter sequence. The letters indicate a vertical page position (tttt = top, bbbb = bottom) and a horizontal page position (llll = left, cccc = center, rrrr = right). All letters are optional and may be specified in any order. There must not be any whitespace between the comma and the letters. hhhheeeeaaaaddddeeeerrrr Places a simple one line text header at the top of each output page. The header consists of the current date, the current time, the full pathname of the input file, if available, and the page number. ggggaaaauuuuddddyyyy Provides the same information as the simple header but in a more graphic layout with additional space for a user supplied comment (see ----EEEE below). Note that file pathnames too long to fit in the available space will be truncated starting from the left with leading ellipses added in place of the discarded text. ----MMMM _n_u_m_C_o_l_u_m_n_s _t_e_x_t_2_p_s places a single column of text on the page by default. The ----MMMM option allows the page to be divided into an arbitrary number of columns. Typically, when using more than a single column, the font size should be reduced to avoid excessive line wrapping. A common use of this option is formatting text in landscape orientation for an A size page. In this case two columns of seven point Courier type makes excellent use of the page. ----wwww _l_i_n_e_W_r_a_p When the length of a line of text is greater than the available width of the page or column the remaining text may either be discarded (i.e. clipped) or wrapped around to the next line. _l_i_n_e_W_r_a_p is either wwwwrrrraaaapppp, the default, which wraps long text lines to the next line or cccclllliiiipppp which discards text that does not fit on the line. ----KKKK _m_a_x_L_i_n_e_s Normally, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s places as many lines of text on the page as will fit (equivalent to specifying _m_a_x_L_i_n_e_s as 0). The ----KKKK option places a maximum limit on the number of lines placed on a page or column. The number of lines actually produced will be either _m_a_x_L_i_n_e_s or the number that can fit on the page whichever is less. However, if the ----KKKK option is used with the ffffiiiitttt mode of the ----mmmm option, the output page is scaled, if necessary, to ensure that exactly _m_a_x_L_i_n_e_s number of lines are produced on the page. See the ----mmmm option below for more information. PPPPaaaaggggeeee 5555 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) ----mmmm _o_u_t_p_u_t_M_o_d_e By default, tttteeeexxxxtttt2222ppppssss places as many lines of text on the page as will fit. This is the nnnnoooorrrrmmmmaaaallll output mode. Certain text files such as manual pages have been preformatted with page breaks assuming a specific number of lines per page. To ensure the proper processing of these files the ----mmmm option should be specified with ffffiiiitttt as the _o_u_t_p_u_t_M_o_d_e and the ----KKKK option should be specified with the required number of lines per page. The typical specification for a manual page would be ----mmmm ffffiiiitttt and ----KKKK 66666666. ----EEEE _h_e_a_d_e_r_T_e_x_t Specifies a comment to be placed on the page header. If the ----SSSS option has specified the hhhheeeeaaaaddddeeeerrrr page style, the _h_e_a_d_e_r_T_e_x_t will replace the file pathname. If the ----SSSS option has specified the ggggaaaauuuuddddyyyy page style, the _h_e_a_d_e_r_T_e_x_t will be placed above the file pathname. ----llll _l_o_c_a_l_e In order to successfully format a text file _t_e_x_t_2_p_s must know the file's language. The language of the text file is conveyed by specifying an international locale (see _e_n_v_i_r_o_n(5)). If the ----llll option is not specified, the locale is determined by the value of the LLLLAAAANNNNGGGG environment variable. If ----llll is specified, the locale is set to the value of _l_o_c_a_l_e. The directory /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_l_o_c_a_l_e contains entries for each locale available on the system. ----LLLL _l_e_f_t_M_a_r_g_i_n ----RRRR _r_i_g_h_t_M_a_r_g_i_n ----BBBB _b_o_t_t_o_m_M_a_r_g_i_n ----TTTT _t_o_p_M_a_r_g_i_n ----AAAA _a_l_l_M_a_r_g_i_n_s Specifies the margins to be used when formatting the page. The default _t_e_x_t_2_p_s margin is 0.5 inches on all sides. Margins are specified using the syntax <value>[<units>] where <units> may be iiiinnnn, ccccmmmm, mmmmmmmm, pppptttt for inches, centimeters, millimeters and points respectively. If <units> is not specified, inches are assumed. Thus, a 5 centimeter margin would be specified as 5cm. The manual setting of margins is discouraged since it disables _t_e_x_t_2_p_s's automatic scaling mechanism. If a margin is manually specified that is smaller than a printer's physical margins, clipping of the output may result. This cannot occur when the default _t_e_x_t_2_p_s margins are used. The ----AAAA option is provided as a convenience when all four margins are to be set to the same value. ----nnnn _p_a_g_e_N_u_m Specifies the starting value for page numbering. The default starting page number is 1. _p_a_g_e_N_u_m must be greater than or equal to zero. If multiple input text files are processed, each will be numbered starting at the specified page number. For example, if ----nnnn 3333 is specified and two input text files are PPPPaaaaggggeeee 6666 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) processed, the pages of each file will be numbered starting at 3. ----xxxx _t_e_x_t_2_p_s recognizes plain text characters, a number of common control characters and a set of special escape sequences. All other characters cause a warning message to be issued identifying the character and its location in the input file. If more than 50 characters in a file are unrecognized, the processing of that file terminates. This prevents inadvertently attempting to format a binary file. If a file is to be formatted that contains unrecognizable characters, the ----xxxx option should be specified. This silences all unrecognized character warnings and allows an unlimited number of unrecognized characters to be processed. ----eeee _r_e_e_n_c_o_d_e_F_o_n_t Each character in a text file has a unique code number. These code numbers are used to select a character glyph in a font. When using only ASCII characters the correspondence of character codes to character glyphs is very straight forward. However, when formatting text for international locales the interpretation of character codes outside the ASCII code range becomes an issue. Many commonly used Adobe Type 1 fonts have a character code to character glyph mapping that is incorrect for many European locales. _t_e_x_t_2_p_s automatically corrects this by reencoding the font to provide the correct character glyphs. This automatic reencoding of a font is performed only if that font has been encoded using the Adobe Standard Encoding. All other font encodings are untouched. Reencoded fonts conform to the ISO 8859-1 specification. The ----eeee option can be used to disable the automatic reencoding of Adobe Standard Encoding fonts. ----iiii _p_r_o_l_o_g_F_i_l_e _t_e_x_t_2_p_s places a PostScript code prolog at the start of the output file. By default, this prolog code is read from the file /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_p_r_i_n_t/_d_a_t_a/_t_e_x_t_2_p_s_P_r_o_l_o_g. The ----iiii switch allows a different prolog file to be specified. This switch is not intended for general use. ----dddd _m_e_t_r_i_c_s_D_i_r In order to format text, _t_e_x_t_2_p_s uses Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files. The default location for these files is /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_D_P_S/_A_F_M. When metric information is needed for a font, the metrics directory name is prepended to the font name to form the full pathname of the AFM file. The ----dddd option allows a different directory to be specified for the font metrics. ----gggg _p_a_g_e_S_i_z_e_F_i_l_e _t_e_x_t_2_p_s maintains a file containing page size names and their corresponding dimensions. The default page size file is /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_p_r_i_n_t/_d_a_t_a/_t_e_x_t_2_p_s_P_a_g_e_S_i_z_e. The ----gggg option allows a PPPPaaaaggggeeee 7777 TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) IIIImmmmpppprrrreeeessssssssaaaarrrriiiioooo TTTTEEEEXXXXTTTT2222PPPPSSSS((((1111)))) different page size file to be specified. ----hhhh Prints a program usage message to the standard error. ----vvvv Prints a message summarizing the results of formatting the specified text. ----QQQQ Specifies that detailed runtime processing information is to be provided. The more QQQQ's that are specified, the more detailed the runtime information. Currently, up to three QQQQ's provide coarse, medium and fine levels of information respectively. The following command line options are provided only for compatibility with the _l_p_t_o_p_s program.
