PTDIV (Parameter Term Divider)

The PTDIV tag defines a visible vertical divider (|) between multiple PT tags.

Syntax


>>-<PTDIV--+----------+----------------------------------------><
           '-</PTDIV>-'

Comments

The PTDIV tag can be used to create a visual separation between the parameter terms. Each PTDIV tag adds a vertical bar (plus display control attributes) to the parameter list.

Restrictions

The PTDIV tag can be coded before the first PT tag, between PT tags, or following the last PT tag (before the PD tag definition).

Processing

None.

Examples

Here is an example that shows the PTDIV tag in combination with the DIVEND attribute of the PARML tag. Figure 1 shows the formatted result.
