@ , , and alignment
instructions are recognized
@ `LINELEN` can be used to specify the width of the text file (in
characters). `CHARWIDTH` is used to map "pixels to character
size" -- it is used when interpreting WIDTH attributes.
@ `NO_WORDWRAP` is used to suppress word wrapping in a paragraph.
This yields an `infinitely long` line, which is suitable for
reading by a word processor. NO_WORDWRAP is ONLY applied to
NON-TABLE lines, and to lines that are NOT CENTERed or RIGHT
justified. In addition, indentations (at the beginning of these
`infinitely long` lines) will be replaced with tabs (which can
be converted to INDENT characters by your word processor).
@ `TOOLONGWORD` controls whether to trim, or wrap, words that
won't fit into a line (or into a cell of a table).
@ `LINEART` controls whether to use high ascii characters to draw
table borders, list bullets, and "quote characters". `LINK_
DISPLAY` controls whether to create a "reference list" of URLs
@ `SUPPRESS_BLANKLINES` suppresses output of sequential blank
lines.
@ `DISPLAY_ERRORS` controls the amount of error reporting (of
HTML syntax)
@ HTML_TXT ignores embedded |
