<?tbchmode>
Description
Specifies the hash width 'mode' in which PTC ALD measures cell widths. When columns are being measured, the value of this command affects how the width of this cell is taken into account. For every column PTC ALD calculates a minimum and a maximum width, which is the maximum of all the cells' minimum and maximum widths from that column.
Syntax
code
0, b or B
Big (default value) - the maximum width of any lines within the cell are used as the minimum width of the cell.
1, s or S
Small - the longest word within the cell is used as the minimum width of the cell.
2, w or W
Wrap - the cell is allowed to vary in size between its minimum width and its maximum, i.e. between the longest word in the cell and the longest line in the cell.
3, i or I
Ignore - the width of this cell is ignored when calculating the width of the column.
 
<?tbchmode=3> has the same effect as <?tbignw=1>.
