Changing the Gap
Adding Headers and Footers
10–26 058060 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Changing the Gap If a page has a header or a footer, TFORM automatically leaves an inch of
space between the text and the headers or footers. This space is called the
header gap or the footer gap. To change this gap, you use the STYLE GAP
HEADER and STYLE GAP FOOTER commands. You can enter an absolute
value for the size of the gap in inches, or you can add or subtract from the
current setting by preceding the value with a plus sign or a minus sign.
Here are some examples of this command:
\STYLE GAP HEADER 1.5
\STYLE GAP FOOTER 2.0
\STYLE GAP HEADER +.5
\STYLE GAP FOOTER +.5
Command
Header or footer indicator
Value (in inches)
Note As with any STYLE command, STYLE GAP HEADER or STYLE GAP FOOTER commands
must follow a NEW command.
Figure 10-17 shows the command used to increase the space between the
text and the header. Figure 10-18 shows how the document looks with a
bigger gap.
