5.4.2 STAGE 2 COMMANDS
The following commands can appear anywhere on a line, even in headers and footers,
and affect individual lines of text or characters. Some take parameters, but most don't.
A handy way to enter these commands which saves pressing the inverse key two
times is to enter them in conjunction with
#
Print page number. Embed in header and footer lines to print the
current page number.
c
Centre line. Following text on the line is centred. This command
can be used to centre header/footer text or any individual lines.
The centred line should end in a
not be first character on the line - you can have text blocked left,
centred and edged right all on the same line. NOTE: This
command is NOT that same as centre justify, which works on ALL
following text. If you centre or edge right individual lines in
paragraphs justified by the Stage 1 justify command, justification
will suppressed on that line.
d
Toggle double strike on or off. Block any text you want printed in
boldface in
d
this is bold
d
. This feature is set
up by the printer driver editor. Your printer may not support
boldface, however.
e
Edge right. Forces subsequent text on the line up against the right
margin. See Centre Line.
i
Toggle italics on or off.
d
u
Toggle underline on or off.
o
Output ASCII char. This outputs the ASCII code
character is NOT counted as a printable character, so it won't
affect the formatting or word-wrap. Handy for sending any control
codes to the printer which aren't covered by the printer driver.
x
Send printable code. Works like
o
utput ASCII, but the character is
counted as printed matter by the formatter and appears on the
preview screen as a question mark. Handy for printing any
international characters not supported by the printer driver.
-
Soft hyphen (dash). Insert in the middle of especially long words.
When these words won't fit onto a line during printing, the word
will be broken where the soft hyphen is embedded, and a hyphen
printed at the end of the line. If the word fits onto the line, no
hyphen is printed.
