Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 :lines. [align=left | right | center]
 
The :lines tag starts an area that contains unformatted text. The
unformatted text is one or more lines of text displayed exactly as given.
The tag turns off formatting, so lines do not wrap. In the help source file,
the figure must start with the :lines tag and end with the  :elines tag.
 
Parameter  Description

right      Specifies that the text is right-aligned.
 
center     Specifies that the text is centered.
 
Example
 
This example uses the :lines tag to display a small table:
 
    :lines.
       Key     Label   Action
       ------     ---------   -----------
       F1      Green   Sets text color to green.
       F2      White   Sets text color to white.
    :elines.
 
When displayed, the table looks like this:
 
    Key     Label   Action
    ---     -----   ------
    F1      Green   Sets text color to green.
    F2      White   Sets text color to white.
