Selection commands

The low-level commands used to select a text font are as follows. <#141#>decl<#141#> || <#142#>encoding<#142#>
|| <#143#>family<#143#>
|| <#144#>series<#144#>
|| <#145#>shape<#145#>
|<#146#>size<#146#> <#147#>baselineskip<#147#> Each of these commands sets one of the font attributes; |lso sets ||. The actual font in use is not altered by these commands, but the current attributes are used to determine which font to use after the next || command. <#149#>decl<#149#> || Selects a text font, based on the current values of the font attributes. Warning: there must be a || command immediately after any settings of the font parameters by (some of) the five |;SPMlt;parameter;SPMgt;| commands, before any following text. For example, it is legal to say: <#153#>tex2html_preform<#153#>verbatim38#but it is not legal to say: <#156#>tex2html_preform<#156#>verbatim39#You may get unexpected results if you put text between a |;SPMlt;parameter;SPMgt;| command and a | <#158#>decl<#158#> || <#159#>encoding<#159#> <#160#>family<#160#> <#161#>series<#161#> <#162#>shape<#162#> A short hand for the equivalent ||call to ||.
