Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────Formatting Flags───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Formatting flags are used for two purposes:
 
        ■ To highlight text. Flags are provided for boldfaced,
          underlined, and italic text. On a color monitor, these
          attributes may appear as text of a different color, depending
          on the user's hardware and software configuration.
 
        ■ To embed explicit links in text. Flags are provided to define
          "hot spots" on the screen and to hide the context string you
          are linking to.
 
     The coding of formatting flags depends on which source-file format
     you are using.
