#### 7.6.10 Specifying tab positions for RTF paragraph styles

A value for the tabs setting consists of the following:

- an optional leader, one of: dot, hyph, ul (underline), th (thick), or eq (equals), followed by a space
- a letter for the tab type (if other than left): R (right), C (center), D (decimal), or B (bar)
- a numerical value followed by the units for the distance of the tab from the left margin.

For example, you would specify tabs=dot R6.75in for a flush-right tab with a dotted leader in a body frame 6.75 inches wide. If you do not include a letter, a left tab is assumed. You can specify as many space-delimited tabs as you want, but all must either fit on a single line, or be included in a referenced macro.
