The tabDefault property
A measurement representing the distance between default tab stops. The default is not to set default tab
stops.
For more information see
Tab Stops.
The tabStops property
A space-separated list of tab stop locations. Within the region from the left margin to the rightmost tab
stop in the list, these replace the default tab stops specified by the
tabDefault
attribute. To the right of
that point the default tab stops apply.
Each list entry consists of a keyword specifying the alignment at the tab stop, followed by a space,
followed by the distance of the tab stop from the left margin. The tab stop alignment is one of the
following:
center
Center-aligned tab stop
left
Left-aligned tab stop
right
Right-aligned tab stop
decimal
Tab-stop that aligns content around a radix point
For more information see
Tab Stops.
The textIndent property
A measurement representing the horizontal positioning of the first line relative to the remaining lines in
the paragraph. A negative value indicates a hanging indent whereas a positive value indicates first line
indent. The default is zero.
The use property
Invokes another object in the same document as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is
either a SOM expression (which cannot start with '#') or a '#' character followed by an XML ID.
Starting with XFA 2.4 the object used as a prototype no longer needs to be the child of
proto
. Any object
of the appropriate class can be used as a prototype.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
The usehref property
Invokes an external object as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is an URL, followed
by '#', followed by either an XML ID or by som(SOM_expr) where
SOM_expr
represents a SOM expression.
The XML ID or SOM expression is resolved in the context of the external document.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
