Pre-Formatted Text Example

Pre-Formatted Text Example
Introduction
The pre command can be used to specify pre-formatted text. This uses a uniformly spaced font and columns in the input correspond directly to columns in the output.

Execute The Following Steps

pre_example.omh
Use an editor of your choice to create the file pre_example.omh in the test directory with the following contents:




     $begin pre_example$$
     $section Example Pre-Formatted Text$$
     
     $head A Paragraph Without Heading or Subheading$$
     This paragraph has the heading 
     "A Paragraph Without Heading or Subheading"
     directly above it.
     $pre
     
     $$
     This paragraph does not have a heading or subheading 
     directly above it.
     
     $head Indenting Text$$
     $pre	$$
     The first line of the text of this paragraph is indented
     using the pre command and a tab character. 
     The other lines of text are not indented. 
     
     $head A Pre-Formatted Paragraph$$
     $pre
     	minimize   f(x) with respect to x
     	subject to g(x) <= 0 
     $$
     
     $end
