Hi Ann, Good question. In very simple terms, [p] means begin a new paragraph, so start of a new line and begin in cell 3. Unless of course you have a code earlier in the document to charge the way new paragraphs are treated. For example, you might have used the code [svprg6] which would then begin the new paragraph in cell 6. Hence, if you use the [p] code, later in the document, the following paragraph would also begin in cell 6. However, if you use the para. Style instead, the paragraph would be treated in whatever way the Para. Style was set up. I've copied the Codes Quick Reference explanations below. George. [p] -- Begin new paragraph, with possible line skip and/or indent according to current default settings (see [svprg...]). (In braille files, this is usually a new line, beginning at cell 3. In print files, this is usually a line skip only.) [svprgN:L:M] -- Set paragraph treatment values, i.e. the parameters for the [p] command. N determines the position at which to begin a new paragraph; the default value is 3 for braille and 0 for print. L determines how many lines to skip before a paragraph; the default is 0 for braille and 1 for print. M is 0 (the default) if N is to be an absolute position, or is 1 if N is to be relative to the current left margin (i.e. the left margin reckoned as position 1). If all values are omitted, the values are reset to their values at the beginning of the file. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ann Foxworth [mailto:Ann.Foxworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 19 September 2002 20:33 > To: 'duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: [duxuser] paragraph style > > > What is the difference between {p} and [es~para.]? > > Ann Foxworth, Computer Braille Specialist > Texas Commission for the Blind > 4800 N.
