(Rulers and Styles)
Insert Ruler makes an unnamed ruler
appear
directly changing a paragraph's format
causes an Insert Ruler below; pasting
does not
choosing a ruler Name with insertion pt
in paragraph causes an Insert Ruler
below; doing it with a ruler selected
does not
applying a Style with a named ruler
selected affects all material governed
by that ruler
applying a Style with text selected
affects only selected
text if no ruler is named; it affects
whole paragraph if ruler is named
— and furthermore, subsequent
para gets an Insert Ruler, and, if
named, the Inserted ruler is named!
to import a ruler, paste it with both
docs open
to import a style (and associated ruler),
apply it with both docs open
cannot paste a ruler if ruler of same
name exists; so, to make styles
conform, change ruler name first,
then apply with ruler selected

general help
find works in loops; in each loop
a selection is made, and if it fails
to match a new try is made starting
outside the selection
find expressions are evaluated from
right to left, meaning that a selection
is made that satisfies each component
before the next component is looked at
the metacharacters

NB: to use, may need single-
quotes to force metachar eval

Macros
to copy, include ¶ before name
general
"…" strs must be literal
(for variable, put on clip
and use '\CC' etc.)
for " in str, use ""
use ' instead to include metas
use \return to insert fake
return into a quote
(e.g. to allow ruler in quote)
digit change clipboard
:1 "text1" ["text2"] makes dialog
box; text1 is prompt; text2 allows
user to enter text (goes to clip)
Key [text]
no quotes! no text = ret; use ASCII
Table to type arrows etc.
menu commands
enter name or title:name
if √∑-able, can take "on" or "off"
can precede with symbols Shift
Option Command from ASCII
Table (hex 19, 20, 17)
Copy["clipnum"["text"]]
Cut["clipnum"]
Paste["clipnum"["text"]]
(cannot omit clipnum, but can
leave empty, so you can insert
a literal string directly)
Mark Text... ["n1"["n2"]]
(n2 to mark start and end of
selection w/ diff names)
Jump ["pos1"["pos2"]]
(pos2 to select from one to
the other (but not including!!);
NB a pos can be a name, linenum,
or "END" (use "1" for start))
Ruler menu commands
Left, Center, Right, Full
L 1, L 1.5, L 2, L 3, L Other
¶ 1, ¶ 1.5, ¶ 2, ¶ 3, ¶ Other
(after Other, enter val and ret)
Find commands
Find Next ["exp" ["options"]]
Find/Replace ["exp1" "exp2" ["options"]]
where the options are:
* use dialog's options
C copy text and options into dialog
-g normal search
e power search
g power search +
w whole word
-w not whole word
r reverse (search backwards)
i ignore case
W wrap
-W don't wrap
G search all open
-G search front doc only
o ignore styles in Find
-o use styles in Find
O ignore styles in Replace
-O use styles in Replace
a replace all
l replace all in selected paras
s replace all in selection
n with s, select last changed
I index, not replace
t no dialogs
v dialogs
E jump to end on failure
T terminate macro on failure
M search all files on search list
-M search current doc only
X with Find Next, puts pathnames
from search list onto clip

all constants to double-precision

(no need to repeat in other macros)
free x kill x's var space
freeLocal, freeGlobal, freeAll
macroCopy, macroPaste between
clip and selection point
selectRuler(n) selects ruler governing
char offset n
setSelect(n1,n2) selects char range
setSelectMore(n1,n2) builds non-
contig selections; first one is ignored,
so start with (0,0)
goto label
exit from macro
if(E) if E is true, non-zero, or non-
empty, then statements on same
line will execute; use semi-colon to
separate statements on same line;

to obtain info about current non-contig
selection: strings; starts; ends;
startends;

first refs without removing
last refs without removing
