Description

This tag sets the characters base for the current font.

Parameters and typographical expressions

1.Character width (absolute). A positive decimal number of a measure type, or a typographical expression that results in such a number.

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

Can be inserted anywhere in text. Local for the paragraph where is inserted, therefore effects cease on the end of that paragraph. May be globalized, by appending the >default< tag after.

Click to toggle expandExamples
>w 9pt< set characters base on 9pt from the point of insertion till the end of the paragraph.
>w 9pt<>default< set characters base on 9pt from the point of insertion till the end of the text or to next tags >h...<.
>w H/2< set characters base on half of the current type size.

 

Increase/reduce (absolute)

>w W+1pt< increase the base for 1pt or more in respect of current base value.

 

Increase/reduce (relative)

>w W'1200< increase the base for 20% more in respect of current base value.
>w W'800< decrease the base for 20% less in respect of current base value.

 

Increase/reduce (percentual)

 

>w W*#1/100< insert this expression in variable style for the percentual change of the type base. "100%" means "normal type base", "90" means type size "reduced on 90%" and "120" means "enlarged for 20%".
