Selection commands

The low-level commands used to select a text font are as follows. <#143#>decl<#143#> || <#144#>encoding<#144#>
|| <#145#>family<#145#>
|| <#146#>series<#146#>
|| <#147#>shape<#147#>
|<#148#>size<#148#> <#149#>baselineskip<#149#> Each of these commands sets one of the font attributes; |lso sets ||. The actual font in use is not altered by these commands, but the current attributes are used to determine which font to use after the next || command. <#151#>decl<#151#> || Selects a text font, based on the current values of the font attributes. Warning: there must be a || command immediately after any settings of the font parameters by (some of) the five |;SPMlt;parameter;SPMgt;| commands, before any following text. For example, it is legal to say: <#155#>tex2html_preform<#155#>verbatim39#but it is not legal to say: <#158#>tex2html_preform<#158#>verbatim40#You may get unexpected results if you put text between a |;SPMlt;parameter;SPMgt;| command and a | <#160#>decl<#160#> || <#161#>encoding<#161#> <#162#>family<#162#> <#163#>series<#163#> <#164#>shape<#164#> A short hand for the equivalent ||call to ||.
