TEXT EFFECTS
Pressing <EFFECTS> while typing text allows you to begin a special
printing effect starting at the cursor position, or to turn an effect
off. Currently, the special effects are :
underlining
boldfacing
subscripting
superscripting
hard space (space that won't be removed during formatting)
overstrike (for producing accented characters, redlining, etc)
table of contents marker
index marker
font change (fonts are defined in the .prt files)
keep marker (the block in between keep markers will start on a new
page in there isn't room on the current page for the
whole block)
To turn an effect on, press <EFFECTS>, choose the first letter of the
attribute you want to enable, and type 'y'. To disable the effect,
follow the same procedure as above, but type 'n' instead of 'y'. You
are allowed to have multiple effects on the same piece of text. (ie -
a word can be bold and superscripted, or super-superscripted).
Since each attribute is shown as a graphics character, and each
attribute takes up a space in the text, you can remove an effect just
by deleting the attribute character.
