tfsnap

Description

Set up a text snap grid in the currently selected frame. Text with the tpsnap attribute set to on via the <?tpsnap> PI will snap to this grid. Only the first line of a paragraph is snapped to the grid but if its line spacing is a multiple of snap gap then all lines of the paragraph will line up with the grid.

Vertical justify must not be set for the frame (see tfvjust) or any of the text it contains.
