Formats

  
Table: Formats

The various kinds of formats are summarized in Table gif . The `Name' column gives the names by which you can refer to the formats when entering them. The format sequence is always a text sequence so every alternate format is a text string. Since the text strings are always present, there is no need to have to enter them explicitly and consequently we don't give them a name. The slot formats  are for children of the display form. The L,E and * options on the term slot formats control parenthesization  of the slot, and are discussed in Section gif . All the formats enclosed in

's control insertion of optional spaces  , linebreaking  , and indentation  . They are discussed in Section gif .
