Default D3 Output processor macros - 08-29-2005 , 02:31 PM






A few questions here:

1. Does anybody use the output processor? This is my little survey..

2. Is the standard operation for using macros meant only for one line of
text? I ask this because when I try to use a multi-lined macro in an
output file, the macro is crammed onto one line with zero spaces where the
attribute or value marks are in the original macro file.

Regards,


Dale

The Output Processor is basicly Runoff on steroids. It's got a ton of stuff
Craig Nuttle wrote for adjusting font sizes, centering with proportional
fonts, etc.

Macros are just intended to insert data without having to actually enter it
into the item. Therefore there is no "automatic" insertion of spaces or
anything else.
