This is how the text looks when printed:

.

Unlike other TFORM commands, styling commands need not start in the
first column of a line. They can appear in any location within the text. The
command must come immediately before the text you want to emphasize.
Like other TFORM commands, you can use three-letter abbreviations for
the commands.

Using Styling Commands

You can style several lines of text at once. Place the styling command at the
beginning of the first line of text. After you’ve entered all the text, end the
command with the backslash and a right parenthesis. For example:

\BOLD(The deadline for submissions is the third

Friday of the month. Articles submitted after this

time will not appear in the next issue of the

magazine.\)

You can also mix and match styling effects by putting two or more
commands in effect for the same text. For example, you can combine
bolding and underlining or insert superscripts in bold type. When you put
one command inside another command, you are nesting the commands.
Each styling command must have its own set of backslashes and
parentheses:

\BOLD(\UNDERLINE(Late Submissions Will Not Be

Accepted!\)\)
