Description

The WR ADD STYLESHEET TAB command allows you to add a new tab stop to the list of tab stops that the parameter styleSheetNumber refers to. Using the WR ADD STYLESHEET TAB command, you can set the tab postion, its type and its fill character.

If there is already tab stop at position, it will be replaced by the tab stop you just defined.

Note: Text that uses the style sheet you want to modify will not be updated unless you call the WR UPDATE STYLESHEET command to update text that uses that style sheet.

position is the distance from the left margin (expressed in the document's default units).

The justification optional parameter determines the tab stop type. You can use the following constants, found in the "WR Tabs" theme:

Constant (Value)Text alignment
wr left tab (1)Left aligned
wr centered tab(2)Centered
wr right tab (3)Right aligned
wr decimal tab (4)Decimal
wr vertical separator tab (5)Vertical separator

If justification is omitted, a left aligned tab is created.

The fillCharacter optional parameter can be any character whose code is between 33 and 127. This character will be added using the same font as the tab stop. If fillCharacter is omitted or if you pass an empty string, no fill character will be inserted.

Example

See the example for the WR UPDATE STYLESHEET command.
