4.4 EDIT CODES ______________
Edit codes are used for text formatting such as starting new
paragraphs, new lines or pages, tabbing, indenting, and centering.
They have only a local effect on the document, at their unique
place in the text. Edit codes are delimited by a "-".
NOTES _____
Several edit codes may be concatenated (combined) within one
set of delimiters, using ";" to replace the "-!-" string which
normally would separate edit codes. For example,
"!-s4-!-i10-!-j13-" could be replaced by "!-s4;i10;j13-", to
skip four lines, indent 10 spaces and impose a hanging
indentation of 13 spaces.
When a number of edit codes that perform the same
function are concatenated (strung together), the combined
effect of the code is determined by the following rules:
1) A new page takes effect only once per edit code,
clears and it ______ any current skip lines (!-s4;n;n-
reduces to !-n- while !-n;s4-is executed as
specified).
maximum 2) The code specifying the _______ number of skipped
lines is used (!-s4;s2- reduces to !-s4-).
last 3) The ____ horizontal displacement code specified is
used (!-p;i7- reduces to !-s1;i7-).
order irrelevant 4) The _____ of concatenation is __________ for codes
which do not perform the same function (e.g.,
!-i7;j5- is the same as !-j5;i7-).
