Hn (Heading)

The heading tags define main topics and subtopics of information within an information region.

Syntax


>>-<Hn--+---------+-->--+--------------+--+-------+------------><
        '-COMPACT-'     '-heading-text-'  '-</Hn>-'

Parameters

COMPACT: This attribute causes the heading-text to be formatted without creating a blank line before the heading.
heading-text: This is the text of the heading.

Comments

The heading tags define main topics and subtopics of information within an information region. You can define up to four heading levels. The n in Hn indicates the heading level. The heading levels are formatted in this fashion:

H1: Identifies a main topic of information. The text is centered on the panel.
H2, H3, H4: The text is formatted against the left margin of the panel body.

Headings are formatted with one blank line before them.

Restrictions

The Hn tag must be coded within an INFO definition. See INFO (Information Region) for a complete description of this tag.
