<?tbma>

Description

This command is used to add margins to the outside of a table, to adjust the table position in relation to the text surrounding it. The <?tbma> command will apply the margin to all sides of the table: use the commands <?tbml>, <?tbmr>, <?tbmt>, and <?tbmb> to add a margin to specified sides only.

When a table is rotated using <?tborient>, the content of the table only is rotated and this does not include the margins. i.e. the top margin will always be applied above the table, whether or not the table is rotated.

Example 418. Add a margin outside a table on all sides

This example would add a 5mm margin to the outside of a table, on all sides:

<?tbma=5mm>

Syntax

<?tbma size:uh>

size	Measure of the margins, with optional decimal point and optional unit of measurement.
