The TS (text split) line command moves part or all of a line of text to the following line. This makes it easier for you to add new material to existing text.
Syntax
>>-TS--+---+--------------------------------------------------->< '-n-'
- n
- The number of blank lines to be inserted between the split lines. If you do not type a number, or if the number that you type is 1, the editor inserts only one blank line.
Description
To split a line:
- Type TS in the line command field of the line you would like to split. If you want to insert more than one blank line between the split lines, type a number greater than 1 immediately after the TS command.
- Move the cursor to the desired split point.
- Press Enter.
To rejoin lines, use the TF (text flow) line command. See TF—Text Flow for more information.
For more information about splitting lines and other word processing commands, see Word processing and Splitting lines.
Examples
Figure 1 shows how to split text and to insert blank lines. To split the text and insert three lines, type TS3 in the line command field of the line you want to split and place the cursor where you want the line split.
