Outline and shadow

The outline and shadow features are useful for adding variation and

emphasis to text that you wish to stand out, such as headings. The

following ‘samples show the shadow and outline features

individually, and a combination of outline with shadow.

Overscore, strike-through, and underlining

The overscore, strike-through, and underlining modes are useful for

highlighting text. This feature can be used to score spaces,

subscripts, and superscripts without a break. You can choose from

a variety of line styles: single, double, broken, or continuous. See

the ESC command in Chapter 8 for more information.
