Formatting across paragraph boundaries
You can use two methods to describe a run of formatting that crosses a paragraph
boundary. The first is to simply close the first <PARAGRAPH> element and then open
a new one. For example:
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The sun has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The sun has set.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The second is to use a
entity to create the paragraph break. For example:
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10"
>The sun has risen.
The sun has set.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
Retrieving copyfitting information
In deconstructed projects, a <BOX> element can contain a <LINKEDBOX> element.
The <LINKEDBOX> element indicates the point where text has overflowed the
current box and identifies the box where the text continues. The <LINKEDBOX>
element also contains attributes that indicate where in the text the break occurs.
