694.0. "Is there a terminator for <CENTER_LINE>?" by STLSEE::USER (Garrett Van Siclen) Mon Jul 20 1987 17:00

 
    When useing the <CENTERLINE> command I have run into a problem.
    The particular section of my file looks like this...
    
1    	<CENTER_LINE>(string1)
2	<CENTER_LINE>(string2)
3	<CENTER_LINE>(string3)
4	<CENTER_LINE>((xxx) xxx-xxxx)
5
6	<UNDERLINE>(<EMPHASIS>(string4:\bold))
7	<LINE>
        
    Lines 1-4 center/print fine.  However, line 6 is appended to line
    4 and then it is centered.  If I add a <LINE> command to line 5,
    then the format is as expected.
    
    Is this a bug?  The documentation doesn't not show terminator for
    the <CENTERLINE> command.

694.1 Not a bug... WAGON::EICHTENPaul Eichten @ VWO 285-6070Mon Jul 20 1987 18:0711
    Nope.
    
    DOCUMENT sees the <UNDERLINE>(etc.) line as a continuation of the
    preceding <CENTER_LINE>() context.
    
    Inserting a <P> or, as you've discovered, a <LINE> tag at line 5
    in your example identifies the <UNDERLINE>(text) as a new line. 
        
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.  I was surprised, only because the manual states (per my
    interruptation) that the <CENTER_LINE> command effects the string
    within the '()'.
    
    Thanks for the quick response.
