This tag defines a tabulation row.

To fill rows, add >defcell..< immediately after relative >defrow..< tags ,e.g. >defrow -2...<>defcell...(fill for first row)<>defrow 0...<>defcell...(fill for odd rows)<>defrow -1...<>defcell...(fill for even rows)<>defrow -3...<>defcell...(fill for last row)<

>defrow -3,....< properties for "last" row

2.maximum space to be added in alignment above line of tabulation, e.g. 0 or InfC or 3pt;

3.maximum space to subtract in alignment above line of tabulation, e.g. 0 or InfC or 3pt;

4.weight rule below line of tabulation, e.g. 0.5pt;

5.color string for the vertical rules, e.g. K or !Light Blue!. Note: if the color name is more than one word, embed the color name in quotes or exclamation marks; when adding quick colors, double the # sign, e.g. >co !##c20m20y0k10!<

Tag Effects

Effects are visible in the WYSIWYG pane of the Articles main tab or on a page on the Pages main tab. However, because this tag may change the way how the text lines are justified, its effect is indirectly visible in the source pane of the Articles or Pages main tab.

Type and scope

Should be inserted only at the beginning of the paragraph, after or before other tags, but before any printable character. Local for the paragraph where is inserted, therefore effects cease on the end of that paragraph. Cannot be globalized.

practically without any effect; it applies on all the rows, but there is nothing to apply;
>defrow 0,0,0,0.5pt<
the rule below all the rows will have 0.5pt and it is painted in the default color and tint; note that the rule is displayed on the baseline, so you can use >defcell...< tag to provide some blank space between the rule and the cells;
>defrow 2,0,0,0.5pt<
the rule below the row #2 will have 0.5pt and it is painted in the default color and tint; note that the rule is displayed on the baseline, so you can use >defcell...< tag to provide some blank space between the rule and the cells;
>defrow 0,0,0,0.5pt,C,50<
the rule below all the rows will have 0.5pt and it is painted in the Cyan color and tint of 50%; note that the rule is displayed on the baseline, so you can use >defcell...< tag to provide some blank space between the rule and the cells;
>defrow 0,0,0,0.5pt,C<>defcell 0,1,1,2pt,0,3pt,0<
the rule below the row #2 will have 0.5pt and it is painted in the Cyan color and default tint; >defcell...< tag is used to provide 2pt space above the cell and 3pt below the cell ;
>defrow 0,InfA,0,0.5pt,C<>defcell 0,1,1,2pt,0,6pt,0,1,0<
the rule below the row #2 will have 0.5pt and it is painted in the Cyan color and default tint; >defcell...< tag is used to provide 2pt space above the cell and 3pt below the cell; the same tag turns off the vertical rules; the row height extends automatically to fit the assigned space.
