TALE top-level constant

String const TALE

Tabulation Aligned Leading Edge.

Representation: CSI n \x20 \x61

No parameter default value.

TALE causes a character tabulation stop calling for leading edge alignment to be set at character position n in the active line (the line that contains the active presentation position) and lines of subsequent text in the presentation component. TALE causes the replacement of any tabulation stop previously set at that character position, but does not affect other tabulation stops.

A text string aligned with a tabulation stop set by TALE will be positioned so that the (leading edge of the) last graphic character of the string is placed at the tabulation stop.

Implementation

const String TALE = ' a';
