Formatting Paragraphs

The HTML procedures provide various paragraph formatting capabilities. To use these procedures, call the appropriate paragraph procedure before the list is created.

The following procedures are available:

Formatting Type Beginning Procedure End Procedure

Paragraph break

html_p

html_p_end

Many HTML constructs imply an end of paragraph; thus, the html_th_end procedure is not needed, but you can use it for completeness.

Line break

html_br

NA

Horizontal divider (usually a sculpted line)

html_hr

NA

Prevent text wrapping

html_nobr

html_nobr_end

The following code example uses the paragraph formatting procedures to format text into paragraphs:

print 'Here is some normal text' (1,1)
do html_p('ALIGN=RIGHT')
print 'Here is right aligned text' (+1,1)
do html_br(1,'')
print 'and a line break' (+1,1)
do html_p_end
do html_hr('')
do html_nobr('')
print 'A very long line of text that cannot be wrapped' (+1,1)
do html_nobr_end
