A-Shell Reference

cformat switch: M

Sample image here and another sample image here.

Items in column may contain embedded CRLFs causing it to display using multiple lines. Note that XTR.ITEMLINES determines the maximum number of lines of text displayed in a cell. (Cells that exceed this number of lines will display an ellipsis or "+" to indicate that there is more data than can be displayed.) Also see flags XTF_VARY (variable item height). Note that you cannot use embedded CRLF line breaks in file mode, because CRLF is used for the record terminator.

Comments

When cformat code M is combined with E (editable text cell), cformat m is also implied.

When M is specified for any of the "columns" in a property sheet (see XTF2_PROPSHEET), then it will be applied to all of them, since all of the logical "columns" effectively share the same display column, and the embedded CRLF feature is only adjustable at the display column level. This point applies also to cformat code W.
