MONK(1) MONK(1)
NAME
monk, monksample, monkspell, monkmerge - typeset documents
and letters
SYNOPSIS
monk [ options | files ]
monksample [ sample ]
monkspell [ options ] [ files ]
monkmerge [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
Monk formats the text in the named files for phototypeset-
ting, using other troff(1) preprocessors as necessary.
Options are given below. Any other arguments or flags
(e.g., -o1-2) are passed to troff. Options can occur in any
order and can be intermixed with files.
-Acommands
Invoke the commands after all preprocessors and before
troff.
-Bcommands
Invoke the commands after monk and before any other
preprocessor.
-E Invoke the -e option of troff.
-N Use the uncompressed monk databases. This facilitates
debugging monk database entries.
-Rfile
Use file as the index file for prefer(1).
-Sdest
Send output to device dest. Supported forms are:
-Sapsend Linotronic L200P; see apsend(1).
-Sd202 Mergenthaler Linotron 202; see d202(A).
-Slp Postscript line printer; see lp(1) (default).
-Sproof Teletype 5620 or 630 terminal; see
proof(9.1).
-Sthink HP ThinkJet; see thinkblt(9.1).
-S- Standard output.
-Tdevice
Prepare output for device specified as in -T option of
troff(1).
MONK(1) MONK(1)
-x Shows the preprocessors that are being invoked.
The following options are not normally needed because monk
automatically determines which preprocessors are required.
However, if the commands in -A or -B options require a pre-
processor, their use can be forced by the following options.
-c col postprocessor; see column(1). (Automatically
invoked for many printing terminals.)
-cn cite(A)
-e eqn(1)
-g grap(1)
-i ideal(1)
-ipa ipa(A)
-p pic(1)
-r prefer(1)
-t tbl(1)
-tp tped; see ped(9.1)
Monksample produces on the standard output a skeleton docu-
ment that you can redirect into a file and edit. If no
argument is given, monksample prints a list of the available
samples. They are:
acm Association for Computing Machinery galley sheets.
centerpb Center Phone Book.
cspress Computer Science Press galley sheets.
form1 AT&T Bell Laboratories merit review form 1.
im AT&T Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
kluwer Kluwer Academic Publishers book format.
letter Letters with optional AT&T letterhead.
memo Internal AT&T correspondence.
model IEEE/ACM model sheets.
research AT&T Bell Laboratories bi-annual research report.
rp AT&T Bell Laboratories release paper.
song Song sheets for singing at nursing homes.
tc AT&T Bell Laboratories technical correspondence.
tm AT&T Bell Laboratories technical memorandum.
Monkspell looks up words from the named files (standard
input default) in a public spelling list and in a private
list. Possible misspellings-words that occur in neither and
are not plausibly derivable from the former-are placed on
the standard output. It ignores constructs of monk(1),
troff(1) and its standard preprocessors. It runs demonk(1)
with all specified options and passes its output to
spell(1). The following options, in addition to all options
for deroff(1), are available:
-ddir
Use non-standard monk database directory dir.
MONK(1) MONK(1)
-i Ignore monk `|insert' and `|source' commands as well as
troff `.so' and `.nx' requests.
Monkmerge reads each file and copies it to standard output,
replacing monk insert commands with the file contents. It
ignores monk source commands, which include a file without
processing the monk commands within. If no input file is
given, monkmerge reads from standard input.
EXAMPLES
monk paper
Format the file using the default typesetter fonts and
output device.
monk -Sproof paper
Format a file and proof it on a 5620 terminal.
FILES
forward and backward reference preprocessor
monk databases
monk compiler
macros for pic(1) preprocessor
directory for existing samples
