.BLANK 1
^THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS A GUIDE FOR PREPARING MANUALS ON-LINE USING THE ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 ^^RUNOFF\\ PROGRAM.
^THE DOCUMENT ITSELF ADHERES TO THE STANDARDS SET WITHIN AND SERVES AS AN EXAMPLE OF NONCHAPTER-ORIENTED TEXT.
.BLANK 1
^IN GENERAL ALL
SOFTWARE MANUALS ARE TO BE PRODUCED VIA ^^RUNOFF\\ FOR A
REDUCTION TO 85% USING A REPRO PAGE SIZE OF 7" ^X 10 3/8".
^A PAGE OF TEXT IS TYPED SINGLE-SPACED WITH LINES 70
CHARACTERS WIDE AND PAGES 64 LINES LONG. ^THIS FORMAT WILL FILL THE SPACE
WITHIN THE LIGHT BLUE LINES ON A REPRO PAGE.
.BLANK 2
.CENTER
^^NOTE\\
.BLANK 1
.LEFT MARGIN 15
.RIGHT MARGIN 55
^THE ^^RUNOFF\\ PROGRAM CURRENTLY INSERTS A MARGIN OF FIVE LINES AT
THE TOP OF EACH PAGE IN THE FOLLOWING
FORMAT: ONE BLANK LINE; ^^PAGE\\ N; THREE BLANK LINES; USER TEXT STARTS
ON SIXTH LINE. (^DURING ^^NOVAR\\ OUTPUT, THE ^^PAGE\\ NUMBER CAN BE
SUPPRESSED SO THAT THE LINE IS BLANK.) ^THESE FIVE LINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE LINE COUNT FOR TOTAL PAGE
LENGTH AND CAN BE USED FOR CORRECTION OF WIDOWS. ^IF ADDITIONAL BLANK
LINES ARE TO APPEAR AT THE TOP OF A
PAGE (AS INDICATED IN ^PARAGRAPH 5.0, FOR EXAMPLE), THE USER MUST BE
SURE TO ADJUST HIS ^^RUNOFF\\ COMMANDS ACCORDINGLY BY TAKING THESE
BLANK LINES INTO CONSIDERATION.
.BLANK 2
.LEFT MARGIN 0
.RIGHT MARGIN 70
^IN STANDARDIZING THE FORMAT OF LISTS,#TABLE COLUMNS, AND CHARACTER SPACING, IT IS NECESSARY TO REFERENCE
SPECIFIC CHARACTER COLUMNS. ^AS AN EXAMPLE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING TWO LINES:
.BLANK 1
.INDENT 9
^^EVERY GOOD BOY DOES FINE\\.
.INDENT 15
^^WHAT DID YOU SAY\\?
.BLANK 1
^USING A LEFT MARGIN OF 0, THE FIRST ^E OF THE WORD ^^EVERY\\ IS IN COLUMN 9; THE ^G IS IN COLUMN 15. ^THE ^W OF THE WORD ^^WHAT\\ IN
THE SECOND LINE HAS BEEN INDENTED 15 SPACES; THAT IS, THERE ARE 15 BLANK SPACES PRECEDING IT, AND IT APPEARS IN COLUMN 15 IMMEDIATELY
BELOW THE ^G.
.BLANK 1
.FILL
^CURRENTLY,THERE ARE A FEW LIMITATIONS IN USING THE ^^RUNOFF\\ PROGRAM TO PRODUCE MANUALS. ^THE OUTPUT DEVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE AT PRESENT
NECESSITATE SPECIAL HANDLING IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
.BLANK 1

2.##^ANY VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL LINING (E.G., IN TABLES OR EXAMPLES) SHOULD NOT BE
ATTEMPTED USING ^^RUNOFF\\. ^THESE LINES MUST BE DRAWN BY HAND ON THE FINISHED REPRO PAGE.
.BLANK 1
.TEST PAGE 10
.INDENT -4
3.##^ANY SUBSCRIPTED NUMBER SHOULD BE PLACED IN PARENTHESES FOLLOWING THE ARGUMENT
TO WHICH IT REFERS (E.G., S(1), S(2), ETC). ^HOWEVER, SUBSCRIPTED NUMBERS SHOULD BE TYPED
AND CUT INTO THE REPRO PAGE BEFORE PRINTING. ^WHEN BASE NUMBERS
ARE USED (OCTAL, DECIMAL), THE WORD SHOULD BE SPELLED OUT
(E.G., 10(DECIMAL), 6(OCTAL)).
.BLANK 1
.INDENT -4
4.##^ANY SUPERSCRIPTED NUMBER SHOULD BE PRECEDED BY AN UP-ARROW
(E.G., 10_^2 REPRESENTS 10 SQUARED). ^HOWEVER, SUPERSCRIPTED NUMBERS SHOULD BE TYPED AND CUT
INTO THE REPRO PAGE BEFORE PRINTING.
