•underline (tag >under...< - only if saved with >sav 1<)

The paragraph status includes the following parameters:

•space between words (tag >spb...<)

•alignment of the paragraph

•alignment of the last line of the paragraph

•leading (tag >ld...<)

•space above the paragraph (tag >eld...<)

•space below the paragraph (tag >bld...<)

•leading variations (tag >ld...<)

•variations of the space above the paragraph (tag >eld...<)

•indent (tag >is...<)

•left indent (tag >il...<)
