Updates to 1.7 (Dec 2001)

nlOverlay – must clip out the initpage line as the composite page gets two of these otherwise which really messes up the PDF contents table!

nlTOC – sets ‘Table of Contents’ level for an upcoming paragraph. This causes nlPlace and nlFlow to create a bookmark from the first line of the paragraph text at the appropriate contents level. When the report is saved as a PDF the heading levels are automatically reflected in the bookmarks tree, in the same way as the Word ‘document map’ sidebar. An obvious use for this is to populate a tree-control with the document outline, using the table returned by psInfo.

See function TocTest for a dummy report with 3 levels of headings.

 TocTest ª 3œpsInfo PG

This returns the bookmark, page number and indent level for it.

plDesign – optional left argument to force ‘zoom out’ on large paper sizes. This allows you to work with sizes up to A2 – the default value limits you to A3 (landscape) so you should use

 1.5 plDesign 'mypage'

To work with A3 (portrait) paper. Zoom may be 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 only.

ps_exec – could fail when trying to view a spool file which had ŒTCNUL characters included in a quoted string. Now eliminates these before executing it.

nlt_bust – was incorrectly allowing space for headings when checking is a new page was needed when we were continuing an existing table. Fixed.
