Shadow Type The SHADOW rendition control causes the enclosed text to be shadow-
printed. It looks like this:
\SHADOW ( text \)
Only the 5530 letter-quality printer is capable of true shadow-printing,
which consists of printing a character, then printing it again 1/120th of an
inch to the right. Other printers print each character twice, producing an
effect that is darker than normal type but not as dark as boldface. Note that
you can use a combination of shadow type and boldface type to produce
exceptionally dark characters. For example:
This line is printed in shadow type.
This line uses both bold face and shadow type.
Subscripts The DOWN rendition control causes the enclosed text to be printed one-
half line below the current line. It looks like this:
\DOWN ( text \)
Normally, TFORM moves the following lines down half a line to make
room for the subscript, unless you tell it not to with a SET SPACING FIXED
command. For example:
This line contains a
subscript.
If the output device you are using cannot handle subscripts, TFORM issues
a warning message and prints the subscript as normal text on the current
line.
