replacement
describes how the option is to be passed on to the filter. It can be
extracted from the actual values which may be hidden behind
keyword with the help of regular expressions (& and the combina-
tions \(, \) and \n). replacement may also contain an asterisk (*)
which is replaced by the entire pattern (i.e. it is the same as &).
Examples
– A user submits a job with the special mode -sm express. The slow filter
supporting this mode is activated with the -x option. The description for this
option reads as follows:
MODES express=-x
– A filter is activated by the option -f form_name. This option is described as
follows:
FORM *=-f *
– A filter is activated, the line spacing (vertical motion) being specified in
inches as with the -lpii option:
V_MOTION \(.*\)i=-lpii \1
– or in centimeters as with the -lpic option:
V_MOTION \(.*\)c=-lpic \1
– Another possibility is as follows:
V_MOTION \(.*\)\([ci]\)=-lpi\2 \1
– A filter is required which supports the enlargement of the printed text by a
variable factor. In this case, the filter should be called with the option -mX
where X specifies an enlargement factor between 1 and 9. The filter can be
defined with the following option:
MODES bigger\=\([1-9]\)=-m\l
The same can be achieved by using the corresponding option of the xpadd
-job command; you can set the enlargement factor 3, for example, with
-sm "bigger=3" .
