ÆA e_[Layout Codes]Layout CodesThere are two kinds of layout codes: those which always modify a whole pragraph, and those which modify one or more characters. They are always kept strictly separate. A layout code consists of a type byte, followed by one or more modifier bytes. All rcognized codes are listed below.[Paragraph Layout List]Paragraph Layout ListA Paragraph Layout List is a «LListB» of «Paragraph Layout Codes». Paragraph Layout Codes are almost always found in this form.[Paragraph Layout Codes][Paragraph Layout Code]Paragraph Layout CodesAs explained above, a Paragraph Layout Code consists of a type byte, telling what kind of layout code this is, followed by a type-dependent amount of data.Type Size Data Description01 3B «Color» Background color02 L , «Length» Indent left03 L «Length» Indent right04 L «Length» (Un)indent first line (length relative to indent left setting)05 B Hor. justify left (00), centre (01), right (02) or full (03)06 B Vert. justify top (00) centre (01) or bottom (02) 07 L «Size» Interline distance08 B Interline distance is minimum (00) or exact (01)09 L «Size» Line distance before paragraph start0A L «Size» Line distance after paragraph end0B B Line distance options: Keep on one page on (01) or off (00)0C B Line distance options: Keep together with on (01) or off (00)0D B Line distance options: On next page on (01) or off (00)0E B Protection vs. single lines on pages disable (01) or enable (00)0F B Wrap data to fill sheet cell limits on (01) or off (00)10 L «Length» Distance of borders from text11 9B «Border» Top border12 9B «Border» Bottom border13 9B «Border» Left border14 9B «Border» Right border15 * «Bullet» Bullets16 L «Length» Set standard (left) tabs interval17 5B «Tab» Set extra tabSome comments. The first line of a paragraph can have a different indentation than the other lines. This indentation length is always relative to the normal indentation, and can be positive (more to the right) or negative (more to the left). Combined with bulltes, things are slightly different (see there).Borders can be made to be drawn beyond the standard margins, by specifying the amount of space between them and the text. This is always a positive value.There always standard tab positions; they are placed at regular interfals as specified. These are always left tabs. Additional tabs can also be specified, but these are always in addition to the standard tab positions.[Borders][Border]BordersThe four possible borders are specified separately, through initial type bytes 11 to 14. The border structure is shown below. Offset Data Description 0000 B Type (see below) 0001 L Thickness (always 01 for types 02 to 06) 0005 «Color» Color of border 0008 B Unknown (always 00 or 01 ?) 0009The border type can have the following values: Border Type Description 00 None 01 Solid single line 02 Solid double line 03 Dotted line 04 Dashed line 05 Dotsdashed line 06 Dotdotdashed lineThe thickness can only be defined for solid lines. It is expressed in units of 1/14 point (1/20 decimal), just like «Sizes» and «Lengths». The three Unknown bytes may be another color code, or something completely different. The function of the final byte is also unclear.[Bullets][Bullet]BulletsA Bullet description is a «BListB». The complete structure is given below, including the initial length byte excluding the initial type byte 15. Offset Data Description 0000 B Size of the remainder of this section in bytes 0001 «Size» Font size of bullet in points 0005 B Character used for bullet in «ASCII» 0006 B Indent after bullet on (01) or off (00) 0007 «Color» Color of bullet 0008 «Font» Font from which the bullet is taken (always Swiss?)The combination of indents and bullets is somewhat involved. If Indent After Bullet is off, everything works as expected: the bullet is located at the first line indent, and the text starts right after it. If it is on, the bullet is located at the minmum of first line indent and left indent; the text (including the first line) is located at the maximum of first line indent and left indent.[Tabs][Tab]TabsIn addition to the default left tabs, which are found at regular intervals, more tabs can be defined. Each additional tab is specified in its own structure. Below this structure is shown, excluding the initial type byte 17. Offset Data Description 0000 «Length» Location of the tab, relative to the left margin 0004 B Tab type (see below) 0005There are three kinds of tabs. They specify the anchoring of the text just after the tab: either the first character, the centre character or the last character.

This is more or less true for codes 18, 1A, 1B, 23 and 24. None of them can be generated directly by a Word user. |
