Text Plug-In

The text plug-in defines how InSight Rendering formats each page and lays out the document text when it creates a rendition of a text file. The options you set determine the look of the published document because text files contain no formatting information for printing.

InSight Rendering uses the values you supply for paper size, paper orientation, margins, and font size along with the ESPS ASCII font dimensions to calculate how many text characters can fit on a line and how many lines can fit on a page. If the calculated values are greater than your selections for the maximum number of characters per line and lines per page, InSight Rendering displays an error message. You must then modify the appropriate settings until you find a combination that will fit on a page.

You can also specify text characters that you want replaced or removed from the document text. It is recommended, however, that you do not replace or strip-out control codes (or escape sequences), since these will change the format of the document text.
