Mom doesn't natively provide page borders. To get them, put this at the top of your file .de border .\" Change .25i to desired offset . ds offset .25i . RESTORE_SPACE . mk x . sp |\\*[offset]-1v . po \\*[offset] . ll \\n[#PAGE_WIDTH]u-(\\*[offset]*2u) . DBX .5 0 FULL_MEASURE (\\n[#PAGE_LENGTH]u-(\\*[offset]*2u)) . po . ll . sp \\n[x]u .\" If using flex-spacing, change to FLEX . SHIM .. .\" .rn HEADER HEADER-OLD .rm HEADER .\" .de HEADER . border . HEADER-OLD .. This provides half-point borders for all pages but the first, offset from the edges by 1/4 inch. To get a border on the first page, add '.border' immediately after '.START', e.g. .START .border .PP Lorem ipsum... I'm attaching a pdf of a simple, default document with borders added to demonstrate. If your docs have covers, title pages, a table of contents, etc. that need borders, they require further special treatment, which I'm omitting here for the sake of simplicity. -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca
