BREAKLINE
TEDIT Commands
058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–21
BREAKLINE BREAKLINE divides a line into two parts or inserts a new blank line.
What to Enter
{ BREAKLINE | BR }
How to Use
To break a line, place the cursor at the position you want the line broken
and enter the BREAKLINE command. The cursor doesn’t move. The first
part of the line (left of the cursor) remains where it is. The part of the line to
the right of the cursor moves to the next line, keeping your left margin
intact.
To add a blank line above the line on which the cursor is positioned, place
the cursor on the first character of a line. Then enter the BREAKLINE
command. The cursor moves to column 1 of the new blank line.
To add a blank line below the line on which the cursor is positioned, place
the cursor beyond the last non-blank character (EOL) of the line. Then enter
the BREAKLINE command. The cursor moves to column 1 of the new
blank line.
What Happens
For files that are open so you can write to them, BREAKLINE checks the
line width to ensure the new lines of text do not exceed the align width
settings:
If auto word wrap is ON (the default), TEDIT adjusts the text to the
align width.
If auto word wrap is OFF, TEDIT ignores the align width and lets you
add characters until you reach the end of the screen. TEDIT then moves
the character that doesn’t fit on the line to the next line, which can break
a word in two.
