Block format functions (d+ 2)

Formatting with the Block format functions enables you to change the appearance of each of the label’s text blocks, created using the New Block function. The following label shows how these functions can be used together.

The multiple blocks in this label were created using the New Block function with the first block of this text containing a single line, the second containing two lines, and the third, one line. Then, different settings were applied to each block separately, using the Block format functions (Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line effects (underline/strikeout), Frame, Text alignment, Text rotation and Block length).
