TextLine statement
The TextLine statement describes a text line. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement.
A text line is a single line of text that FrameMaker treats differently from other text. Text lines grow and shrink as
they are edited, but they do not automatically wrap the way text in a text column does. Text lines cannot contain
paragraph formats, markers, variables, cross-references, or elements.
Syntax
Usage
The TLOrigin statement specifies the baseline (Y) and the left, center, or right edge of the text line (X), depending
on
TLAlignment. The text line is rotated by the value specified in an Angle statement. The default angle is 0.
A
TextLine statement contains one or more String statements. Each String statement is preceded by an optional
Font statement. The Char statements provide codes for characters outside the printable ASCII range. You can define
macros that make
Char statements more readable, and there are several predefined constants for character values.
(See “Char statement” on page 126.)
TextRect statement
The TextRect statement defines a text frame. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement.
