set-paragraph-format

Arguments: window &rest args

Sets the paragraph format of window, which must be an instance of text-edit-pane. Note that a rich-edit-pane is an instance of text-edit-pane. Note further that neither a text-edit-window nor a rich-edit control are accepted as arguments. (A text-edit-window is usually the parent of a text-edit-pane. Applying window to a rich-edit control typically returns the rich-edit-pane suitable as an argument to this function.)

The other arguments set paragraph formatting characteristics. They are keyword arguments (and so should be specified in keyword/value pairs). They are as follows:

• :justification: :justification should be is one of :left, :center, :right, or nil for no change.
• :numbering-style: numbering-style is one of :bullets, :plain, or nil for no change.
• :top-left-indentation, :body-left-indentation, :right-indentation, :top-left-indentation-is-relative: top-left-indentation, body-left-indentation, and right-indentation are each a number in points, or nil for no change.

  top-left-indentation is the indentation of the first line of text. If top-left-indentation-is-relative is true, then top-left-indentation is relative to the current indentation of each affected paragraph.

  body-left-indentation is the indentation of the second and following lines of text, relative to the first line of text.

  right-indentation is the indentation of the right side of the text.

• :tabs: tabs is a list of tab positions from left to right, specified in points, or t for no change. t is the default.
