If the text on the line already goes past the desired +position, the tab starts a new line and moves to the requested +horizontal position. + +\tabto*{<length>} + +Similar to \tabto, except it will perform backspacing, and over- +print previous text on the line whenever that text is already +longer than the specified length (i.e., no linebreak is produced). +Line-breaks are suppressed immediately after \tabto or \tabto*. + +\tab + +Tab to the next tab-stop chosen from a list of tab positions, in +the traditional style of typewriters. A \tab will always move +to the next tab stop (or the next line), even if it is already +exactly at a tab stop. Thus, "\tab\tab" skips a position. A +linebreak is permitted immediately following a \tab, in case the +ensuing text does not fit well in the remaining space. + +The tab-stop positions are declared using either \TabPositions +or \NumTabs: + +\TabPositions{<length>, <length>,...<length>} + +Declares the tab stops as a comma-separated list of positions +relative to the left margin. A tab-stop at 0pt is implicit, and +need not be listed. + +\NumTabs{<number>} + +Declares a list of <number> equally-spaced tabs, starting at the +left margin and spanning \linewidth. For example \NumTabs{2} +declares tab-stops at 0pt and 0.5\linewidth, the same as +\TabPositions{0pt, 0.5\linewidth} or \TabPositions{0.5\linewidth} |
