< &Heading 3L ÿÿÿh3r h3r ÐÐ \cûefd\c0ef8dý.ÆAU2This is an example Word file. This first paragraph has no special lay-out: it uses style Normal, which is the base style.This is a Heading 1Heading 1 is 14 points bold, with some space before and after, and 'keep with next' on (this paragraph is in Normal style again)This paragraph has several character layouts. It contains bold, italic, underline and strikethrough in several combinations, and is quite unreadable...Now we will illustrate the fonts. Font handling is not yet optimal; if a font is unknown to AbiWord, there is no fall-back to another font. Psion font support depends on the printer driver. Here we have Times New Roman, Arial and Courier New fonts, all in 10 points. From another printerdriver, I got Courier, univers and CGTimes.Of course, many font sizes are supported. small fonts (4 pts),6 points, 8 points, 10 points, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 38, 50 points. Note that the set of fontsizes supported by Psion Word and the fontsizes supported by AbiWord are not the same, so we use the nearest equivalent.Dark grey, light grey, even white text can easily be generated; but though the Word application does not support other colors (except black), the file format can handle 24 bit colors in RGBencoding.Finally, we have superscriptand subscript text. Now we have had all character-level encodings - except background color, a feature that is not available in the Word application, but again supported in the file format. Sorry, no example.Now it is time to show you some special character. The Psion uses the IBM 1252 encoding internally, so we have to translate all character. Let's try character 170 to 180 decimal: ª « ¬ ® ¯ ° ± ² ³ ´ (high a, double <, hook, small minus, reserved sign, high line, degrees, plusminus, squared, cubed and accent acute). We also have many accents: äàáãâåLet's go to paragraphs. This one is centeredThis one is flushed rightThis one is fully justified, but I don't think this line is long enough to display it - or is it?Anyway, the previous text was left justifiedThis text is indented 6 cm left and 3 cm right, except for the first line which is indented 7 cm. 2 left, 3 centered, 4 right 3 normal tabs...Tabs in the above line. Psion only knows about left, centered and right tabs, but you can define their position and add regular spaced ones.Line spacing tricks. 4 pts above, 10 pts below, spacing at least 10 pts, keep together, keep with next, widow protection and start newpage.Borders. This is not yet possible in AbiWord, but we have a left black solid border, a right dark grey double border, a dotdashed light grey top bottom and a white dotdotdashed bottom border, all 1 cm around the text, on a light grey background!Bullet. This is a norma bulletThis is a Euro-sign bullet in dark grey, 10 pts, without indentation behind it. A 22 point reserved sign bulletNo more bullets. Note that there are no numbered lists in the Psion world. Bullets are not yet supported, by the way. Left of this is an inserted sketch (picture). As psiconv does not handle objects yet, you will not see itThis line has a line breakthat does not end the paragraphas well as hard spacesA page break above here.That's all folks!YqSketchôô ÊOÓ^( ÿÿó ÿþÿÿÿÿÀ ÿþÿÿþÿ?ÿÿÀ |
