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.
