7.6.9 Specifying tab positions
for RTF paragraph styles
A value for the tabs setting consists of
the following:
- an optional leader, one of:
dot, hyph, ul (underline), th (thick), or eq (equals), followed by
a space
- a letter for the tab type (if
other than left): R (right), C (center), D (decimal), or B (bar)
- a numerical value followed by
the units for the distance of the tab from the left margin.
For example, you would specify tabs=dot R6.75in for a flush-right
tab with a dotted leader in a body frame 6.75 inches wide. If you do
not include a letter, a left tab is assumed. You can specify as many
space-delimited tabs as you want, but all must either fit on a single
line, or be included in a referenced macro.
