222.0. "I am a <BITMAP> user" by OBLIO::SELTZER () Wed Apr 08 1987 14:28

    I am using <BITMAP> and I like it.  I had been using <TAG> to do
    the job but it gives a different type-style.  Almost OK for text
    but it looks weird in tables.  I didn't know about <BITMAP> until
    I read the Release Notes for BL6 Users.  Gave it try and I liked
    it!  Keep <BITMAP>, please.

	What is the <BITMAP> tag? What does it do? Where is it documented? I see no mention of it in any of my documentation.
222.2	Labels a range of bits	COOKIE::JOHNSTON		`Wed Apr 08 1987 18:58`	11
	It's listed under DEC-Internal tags in the release notes. It works the same as <tag> in that it encloses text in angle brackets. It's purpose is to specify a range of bits in typical hardware notation: <bitmap>(10:32) --> <10:32> We use it often; please keep it around. Rose
