Acting on Symbol Table Entries

When looking up RTF statements and symbols in the symbol table, the RTF reader can take any of the following actions:

nChange the destination to the destination described in the table entry.

Most destination changes are legal only immediately after an opening brace. Other restrictions may also apply (for example, footnotes may not be nested).

nChange formatting property.

The symbol table entry will describe the property and whether the parameter is required.

nInsert a special character.

The symbol table entry will describe the character code.

nEnd of paragraph.

This can also be viewed as just a special character.

nEnd of section.

This can also be viewed as just a special character.

nIgnore the character.
