<?tldrtxt>
Description
Used in conjunction with a <?ul> code to set the actual character(s) to be used as a leader.
Example 529. Fill a line with leader characters
The macro shown below can be used to 'fill' a line with underscores and a space, making the underscore thinner than it would usually be:
<?up><?th=.2h><?tldrtxt="_ "><?ul><?down>
Alternatively , the leader information can be contained in a reference:
<?tldrtxt="&ref;"><?ul>
<?ul="_"> or <?ldr="&ref;">
|
|
The <?ul> and its alias <?ldr> can take an optional extra parameter, effectively a short cut to the <?tldrtxt> command.
|
Syntax
<?tldrtxt leader text:s?>
<?tldrtxt>
|
[no parameter]
|
Invoke the Leader - text dialog box.

|
leader text
|
The characters or reference tag to be used as a leader (must be closed in double quotes):
• Characters: up to a maximum of seven characters may be used
• Reference: ligatures, accented characters, inline items, attributes and Maths can be used since leader text is formatted along with document text.
|
|
These cannot include special formatting characters such as super/sub-script arrows, Version One table start and end symbols and kerning/ligature characters (to set the character into the typeface extension font).
|

Additional Information
If the leader text starts or ends in a space, the spaces will be ignored for the first and last leader respectively.
