tflref
Description
Adds a reference stream before each line of text in a frame: this could be as simple as a single character, or as powerful as PTC ALD will allow (like any other reference). The reference is treated as though it has been inserted after any formatting commands, i.e. at the start of a line, and therefore overrides them.
 
Example 123. Example of a simple line reference
Line references can be as simple or as complicated as you like. At its simplest, a line reference could just be a typeface change code such as <?tf="T001">, which would format every line in a frame in the specified typeface.
Syntax

tflref
[no parameter]
Displays the Line Reference Stream dialog box
reference name
The name of the reference stream to be included
Additional Information
References can be made specific to either a left or right page by creating two references of the same name, differing only with the inclusion of a preceding underscore character in the name of one of the references. The tag with the underscore is automatically used on right hand pages, and the one without on left hand pages.
