| Syntax | .char {delimiter} character{s} {delimiter} |
| Category | Output Processor |
| Type | Command |
| Description |
sends a raw string of characters to the printer or terminal without translation.
The default delimiter is the space character. A forced delimiter occurs at the end of the attribute. Since neither a carriage return nor a line feed is printed, this command may be included in a sentence as a separate attribute without breaking the paragraph. To specify unprintable characters, enter a value mark (<ctrl>+v) followed by the decimal representation. For example, to specify the control sequence "<escape>p", where the decimal representation of <escape> is 27, the sequence is "<ctrl>+v 27<escape>p". Note: Value marks are not displayed by the Update processor. They can be seen by using the "list-item" (TCL) command, where they are displayed as a right bracket ("]"). |
