Summary |
Switches Arbortext APP into 'temporary paragraph mode' and applies one or more text attribute changes to a paragraph style. When you issue a text attribute change macro it normally affects only text after the cursor position or currently selected text. Putting a tpm macro in front of it applies it to the paragraph style with which the text has been formatted. This 'temporary paragraph mode' lasts until the end of the current macro line. |
Example extract |
The tpm macro below affects the text attribute macros th and tlsb following it, and therefore changes the type height of the current paragraph style to 12 point text, and the paragraph's letter spacing to .25w.
The macro below creates a new style called _deflt_ and gives it various text attributes. If the style already exists, the given attributes will be added to it, letting you edit a style without having to select text first.
