Using One Paragraph As the Model
for
Those Above
It
If
the
highlight is extended when
you
use
[PARAGRAPH
SryLE], all paragraphs containing
any
high-
lighted
characters change
to match the style of the para-
graph containing
the
last
highlighted
character.
Ifyou
use
IPAMGRAPH
SWLE]
again, the paragraph style of all the
paragraphs
containing highlighted characten changes
to
the
next
style
in
the
list.
If
all
the
paragraphs in the extended
highlight
are
already
the same style, they
all change to
the
next style
on
the
list.
Effects of Paragraph Style
on Cursor Behavior
Maintaining the paragraph styles has several side
effects
that
result
in
unusual, though
relatively minor
deviations
in
cursor behavior.
Typing
in Right Flush, Centered or Justified text may
not
place the next-typed character precisely at the blinking
cursor. In Right Flush
paragraphs the
newly-typed charac-
ter
appears
one position
to
the
right of
the cursor.
In
Centered paragraphs,
it
appears
ll2-space to
the
right.
Centered
lines
must remain centered
while
you type. The
forward
movement
of
the cursor
will
be
slower
as
the
Cat
recenters the
line with
each
additional
characater.
In
Jus-
tified
paragraphs,
the location of
a
typed character depends
on the contents
of
the
line.
The cursor may sometimes appeir to the
right of
the
right
margin
when
Right Flush or Justified paragraph styles are
used.
Both Right Flush
and
Justified styles require
the
last
printing
character to be on the
right margin.
Since the
word
wrap
rules
require words
to be
broken after two
spaces,
the
screen
must
be
able
to
display
up
to
three character
positions past
the right margin (two positions
for
the
spaces and one
position for
the
blinking
cursor when the
cursor
is
wide).
The Right Flush
and
Justified paragraph styles can cause
spaces
to
appear
to the right
of
the
right margin.
If
a
paragraph has more
than
two
space
characters
before
the
end
of
the
line, the Cat
moves
the righnnost printing
character
to the left
one character
for
each extra space
character.
The
Cat makes best use
of
the
width
of
the
screen
by
compressing the last two
spaces
that
may
occur
at the
end
of
a
Right Flush
or
Justified line into
one
column width on
the screen. Thus,
if
the
right margin
is at
column
80,
one
or
two
space
characters may appear
in columns
8l
and 82.
If
the cursor is
wide,
the
blinker
may appear
as
far
right
as
the
82nd
column.
