The following is a list of codes which may be inserted within the text of any message (whether produced using the Cobwebb editor or an application program).

All text enhancement features are set back to the Default setting at the end of each message.

Text enhancement codes are not seen in the text of the message when sent or printed, but will be seen if the text is viewed on a screen.

Note 1:- the text enhancement character e.g. U, M, F etc. must be UPPERCASE.

For example:  the code ¶U1 means turn on Underline while ¶U0 means turn underline off.  Other text enhancement codes have a similar format, except ¶G (Insert Graphics) where the ¶G is followed by a 28 character graphics member name.

Note 2: - the graphics member name MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A BLANK otherwise it will not be recognised.

Note 3:  any one of these features will remain in force until changed.  They may be used in any reasonable combination.

Underline (¶U0, ¶U1)

Margin (¶M0¶M9)

You can specify a margin to start at position 0 to 9 using ¶M0 to ¶M9.  This is useful when you want to line up a document with an overlay.

Font (¶F0¶F9)

The font is determined by the FONT GROUP currently active for the user.  The default font group is specified in the Cobwebb Fax System parameters, or in the Cobwebb user profile.

Within a FONT GROUP up to 10 fonts can be specified (¶F0  ¶F9).  You should be aware of the fonts available to you in your default font group, for example you may have a BOLD or Italic Font available to you. It is essential that ALL the fonts used in the text are specified in the FONT GROUP you are using.

Rotation (¶R1=90 degrees)

Text can be rotated through 90 degrees for 'Landscape' mode, rotation takes place about the axis where it is specified.

Note: Graphics cannot be rotated so that it is necessary to have a landscape logo, if required.

Rotation is normally specified in the Font Group, this ensures that the correct fonts are available, as well as rotating about the correct axis.

Hasler Fax Unit Compatibility

In order to maintain compatibility with Cobwebb/400 some Cobwebb/400 features have been reproduced in Cobwebb Fax. This has been done by using a Cobwebb Fax Text Enhancement Code e.g. W2 and making it call a suitable Font e.g. Font 3 (this will only work if Font 3 is double the standard width). The Font Group ‘HFU’ is designed to give most Cobwebb Fax functions at 10 CPI. For other CPIs it is necessary to locate suitable Server fonts.

Graphics (¶Gnnnnnnnnnn)

Graphics are normally included in the text by using the *G text enhancement character because this ensures that the ¶G graphics name is correct, however there is no reason why it cannot be typed in manually.

¶Gnnnnnnnnnn where nnnnnnnnnn is a graphics file member (see File maintenance Work with Graphics file).

Note: The Graphics file member name MUST be followed by a blank.

Barcodes (¶CA - ¶CZ)

Barcodes are specified using the 'C' text enhancement character, followed by a letter which ties up with the Barcode specified in the Barcode file (See Work with Barcodes, System Maintenance menu), followed by the number to be converted into the Barcode. The Barcode is printed in the position defined in the BarccCode file, and not where the text enhancement character comes within the document.
