To achieve this |
>h H'949< |
Reduce the type size from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 5.1% (1000-949=51; since the values are in 1/1000, it is 5.1%) |
>h H'1021< |
Increase the type size from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 2.1% |
>h H'1021<>default< |
Increase the type size from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph, and in all subsequent paragraphs for 2.1%. See the note. |
>h H+2pt< |
Increase the type size for 2pt |
>h H-2pt< |
Reduce the type size for 2pt |
Insert this |
To achieve this |
>w W'949< |
Reduce the horizontal scale from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 5.1% (1000-949=51; since the values are in 1/1000, it is 5.1%) |
>w W'1021< |
Increase the horizontal scale from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 2.1% |
>w W'1021<>default< |
Increase the horizontal scale from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph, and all other subsequent paragraphs for 2.1%. See the note |
>w W+2pt< |
Increase the horizontal scale for 2pt |
>w W-2pt< |
Reduce the horizontal scale for 2pt |
Insert this |
To achieve this |
>kern EMW'12< |
Reduce the character spacing from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 1.2% of the EM space |
>kern -EMW'12<
|
Increase the character spacing from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 1.2% of the EM space |
>kern 1pt< |
Reduce the character spacing from the insert point till the end of the current paragraph for 1pt |
Insert this |
To achieve this |
>spb 167,300,400< |
Reduce or increase the word spacing in the current paragraph. The rule is that the middle number must be greater of the first number, and smaller than the second number. The first number must be the smallest, and the last number the biggest. |
Note: globalized tags (with >default<) affect only the paragraphs which are not explicitly formatted with specific tags. For example, if you are setting the type size, and the subsequent text contain 10 paragraphs, and none of these contains a style with >h...< tag, then it will function as you expect. But, for any paragraph which is formatted by style containing >h...<, your adjustment is ignored.
The above requires certain familiarity with GNML tags handling. See the GNML Markup language for reference information.
