"\N" command is used to begin a new line. It goes down as many as specified in SPACING parameter by
default. If SPACING setting was not set, default value for it is 200.
There are some important things to know about this command:
"\N" is absolutelly necessary at the end of the line.
Forgetting or ommiting this command will cause that all the text is in the same line.
Each "\N" command goes down the equivalent of the SPACING command.
This means that by default an "\N"
command will go down 200 twips.
Example:
{$column_1} Text column 1/1
{$column_2} Text column 2/2 {\n}
{$column_1} Text column 1/2{$column_2} Text column 2/2 {\n}
There is an alternative not to repeat the "\N" command until
we reach the place we need. For example if we want to go down 4000 twips, we would have to execute 20 "\N"commands
like this:
{\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n;\n}
Instead, specify the SPACING like this.
{spacing=4000;\n}
In this case, the "\N" command will go 4000 twips down instead of 200. Spacing will be
200 again automatically after the "\N" command.
