Introduction to TFORM
3–60 11387 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Keywords LEFT, RIGHT, and BOTH
You can further modify the INDENT commands with the keywords
LEFT, RIGHT, and BOTH. These keywords specify which margin you
want indented. If you do not specify any of them, TFORM assumes you
mean LEFT.
Values num and units
You need to include a value for num when you want to indent from the
margin. The value of num tells TFORM how many units to indent.
You can specify a positive or negative value for num , such as +3 PICA
or
–1 INCH, or a fractional value, such as 0.75 INCH or 2.54 CM. When it
processes the command, TFORM converts all measurements to
decipoints.
The value of units can be any of the standard TFORM units of
measurement (see Section 1). TFORM assumes CHARS if you do not
specify any value for units . If you use CHARS or LINES, which are
variable units, the actual amount of indentation depends on the current
pitch setting (set by TFORM or redefined with the SET PITCH
command).
INDENT OFF num
This command stops indentation started by the preceding INDENT
ON.
