Usage
A typical ParaLine statement consists of one or more String, Char, ATbl, AFrame, FNote, Variable, XRef, and
Marker statements that define the contents of the line of text. These statements are interspersed with statements that
indicate the scope of document components such as structure elements and conditional text.
The
VariableLocked statement is used for text insets that retain formatting information from the source document.
If the
<VariableLocked Yes> statement appears in a specific variable, that variable is part of a text inset that retains
formatting information from the source document. The variable is not affected by global formatting performed on
the document.
If the
<VariableLocked No> statement appears in a specific variable, that variable is not part of a text inset or is
part of a text inset that reads formatting information from the current document. The variable is affected by global
formatting performed on the document.
For more information about text insets, see “Text insets (text imported by reference)” on page 130.
Char statement
The Char statement inserts an extended ASCII character in a ParaLine statement. It must appear in a ParaLine,
TextLine, or BookXRef statement.

<Para
<ParaLine
<String `the pound sterling \xa3 symbol'>
> # end of ParaLine
> # end of Para
You c an u s e th e <Char HardReturn> statement to insert a forced return in a paragraph. The <Char HardReturn>
