<?up>
Description
Used mainly, but not exclusively, within references and paragraph styles as a way of delimiting a set of text attribute changes which are being turned on; a subsequent <?down> code will define the point at which these attributes are to be turned off.
 
Example 551. Use the <?up> and <?down> commands to control font references
Pairing <?up> and <?down> codes is particularly useful when setting up font references.
The macro shown below would toggle on an italic font and set letter spacing for all text that follows:
<?up><?tf="Times-i"> <?tlse=.1w>
Both of these attributes would be turned off by adding a single<?down> code at the relevant point in the text, thus avoiding the need to reset each attribute.
