BT command description
Description: This command creates a new text block in a page of the document. It can also automatically import an external file in the newly created block. The file type may be 0 for a TCL file or 1 for another type of file (XPress tags, Word, etc.).
The linkTo parameter allows to link the new text block with a block previously created. The previous block may contain text. If the previous block is already linked, the new block is inserted in the chain. See [BN] for more information.
