Commands

Commands may be put into a text, MODULA or Ada input files to cause different effects to occur. Some command characters may be imbedded anywhere within the source file while others must appear in column 1. All of the commands that are assigned to column 1 except the MODE command are valid only for the Docuproc formatted source files. For this file type, column 1 is used for commands only and never printed regardless of what is contained there. When a command appears in the text (such as the underline or bold commands), they do not take up any space when processed.

The command table that follows displays a summary of the commands that may be used in the input source files.
