Terminate text of variable item

$textend ["string"]


Commands in the GCT file are normally generated and maintained by FFVIEWER, and for most Graphical Customization applications it is not necessary to view or edit the GCT file.

This command is used to specify a text string to be used in an annotation. Multiple $text commands may be used in a sequence but a $textend command must be the last command in the set. Text from all these commands is concatenated, up to a limit (currently) of 64kb for each annotation. The length of the string on each command is limited by CopiaFacts command-string size of 8kb characters. This represents the maximum total length, including the command name.

The text string may contain CopiaFacts variable names, preceded by @, which will be expanded at run-time by F7GCOVER when the template is used to generate a custom cover sheet. To force newlines in the annotation, the sequence \n should appear in the text string.

If the concatenated text, after variable expansion, forms a filename with file extension .BMP, or if the letter G is included in the preceding $style command, then the text is taken to be the filename of a bitmap which is loaded into the annotation rectangle without scaling or stretching.

Examples:

$text "This fax contains @TPAGES pages"

$textend

$textend "From: @sender\nCompany: @coname"

$text "This is a long line of text which can be brok"

$textend "en at any point\nor continued on a new line."
