Turning Joining On and Off
You control joining with the SET JOIN command. To begin joining, enter
this command:
\SET JOIN ON
Joining stays in effect until you turn it off by entering this command:
\SET JOIN OFF
Entering SET JOIN ON at the beginning of your file turns on joining for the
entire document. When you want to stop joining—for example, to enter a
table—enter SET JOIN OFF. Return to joining by entering another SET
JOIN ON command.
You can also interrupt joining temporarily by using the BREAK command.
Entering BREAK (or simply the
\
character) alone on a line stops joining for
the previous line. You don’t have to turn joining back on after a BREAK
line; TFORM automatically resumes joining on the following line.
Figure 9-4 shows the join commands in an edit file. Figure 9-5 illustrates
how joining looks in the printed document when the text is joined to the
default width of 70.
