Commande: PP

PP command description

Description: This command places an horizontal rule at the end of the paragraph. The rule may be drawn on the whole width of the column (TextFlag=TRUE) or whith fixed indents (TextFag=FALSE). To stop the rule, use [pp=0].

Syntax: [ PP = Thickness ; TextFlag ; LeftIndent ; RightIndent ; Offset ; Type ; RuleColor ; RuleTint ; Boolean ]

Thickness Points/Tenths		Horizontal rule width.

TextFlag Boolean		TRUE = Uses the text margins, FALSE = Block margins.

LeftIndent Points/Tenths		Distance between the left margin and the beginning of the rule.

RightIndent Points/Tenths		Distance between the right margin and the end of the rule.

Offset Points/Tenths		Vertical offset of the rule.

Type		Rule type. 0-> plain 1-> dotted 2-> double 3-> dotted 4-> dot-line 5-> points 6-> double 7-> double 8-> triple 9-> triple 10-> triple

RuleColor		Color of the rule. 0->White, 1->Blue, 2->Cyan, 3->Yellow, 4->Magenta, 5->Black, 6->Registration, 7->Red, 8->Green. 9->None If the value is >= 10, PageMakeUp will use the internal color table. (see [dc] command).

RuleTint Percent		Tint of the rule (0-100%).

Boolean Boolean		Quark Version : relative rule FALSE by default InDesign Version : Activate(TRUE)/Deactivate(FALSE) rule TRUE by default

Note: A positive "offset" value moves the rule up, a negative value moves it down. At the beginning of a column QuarkXPress may may omit to draw the rule. May be canceled using the [pf] command. In the Adobe PageMaker, the offset is always considered as a positive value. PageMaker does not manage the negative offset.

Example: [pa=2; FALSE; 2; 2; -12] Place at the end of the paragraph a rule of 2 points, with a left and right indent of 2 points and a down offset of 12 points.
