COLUMN command
Use the COLUMN command to establish the column width
when you specify TEXT ALIGNED JUSTIFIED IN COLUMN. You
can also use the COLUMN command to establish a right
boundary for the DOT LEADER command.
Parameters
units indicates the unit of measure for the column width. The
units are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. You can
use two decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters.
You can express DOTS and XDOTS only in integers.
Figure 3–21 shows the COLUMN command syntax flow.

Examples
Long form:
COLUMN SIZE IS 3.8 INCHES WIDE;
Short form:
COLUMN IS 3.8 IN WIDE;
INTERWORD command
The INTERWORD command specifies the interword multiplier
used to determine the interword gap.
The interword gap formula
The interword gap is the blank space between words in printed
text. It is determined in HFDL with this formula:
interword gap = interword multiplier * base gap
where
base gap is one of these values, based on the first named font:
•
the width of ASCII code point X’20’, usually a “blank”
•
an EN space, which is 1/2 the point size of the font
interword multiplier is one of these values:
•
the value specified by the INTERWORD command
•
1.0, if no INTERWORD command is specified.
HFDL uses the interword gap you specify as the minimum value.
For fully justified text, HFDL adjusts the interword gap when
needed.
