Examples

The XMP (example) tag is similar to the LINES tag, in that it allows you to code unformatted text. However, the text of an XMP definition is indented two spaces from the current margin, as opposed to the text of a LINES definition, which is not indented from the current margin.

Like a LINES definition, you should avoid coding lines of text in an XMP definition that exceed the available formatting width of the information region. If the text exceeds the defined width, it is truncated.

The XMP tag requires a matching end tag.

Here’s the formatted result of an example using the XMP tag:

Figure 1. XMP
