Specifies a space-separated list
of tab stop locations and leader properties.
Within the region from the left margin to the rightmost tab stop
in the list, the tab stop locations replace the default tab stops
specified by the
tabDefault
property. The
default tab stops resume to the right of this region.
Each entry in the list of tab stops consists of a keyword specifying
the alignment at the tab stop, followed by a space, followed by
the distance of the tab stop from the left margin.
Tab stop leader properties including pattern and pattern width
can also be specified.

values:
-
center
-
left
-

The tab-stop leader properties include the
following values:
-
leaderPattern
-
leaderAlign
-
Specifies how to align the repeating leader pattern in the
inline progression direction. If the value is
none
,
there are no special alignment requirements. If the value is
page
,
the pattern is aligned as if its cycle started at the start edge
of the page.
Specifies the leader pattern to
fill the space between a tab and the character following it. The
values are
space | rule | dots | use-content
.
If
the value is set to
rule
, the leader is filled
with a line. The
ruleThickness
is any valid measurement that
specifies the thickness of the line. The ruleStyle may be one of
solid
(default),
dotted, dashed, none, double, groove,
or
ridge
.
If
the value is set to dots, the leader is filled with a repeating
pattern of dots. The leader value can also be set to any quoted
string.
-
leaderAlign
-
Specifies how to align the repeating leader pattern in the
inline progression direction. If the value is
none
,
there are no special alignment requirements. If the value is
page
,
the pattern is aligned as if its cycle started at the start edge
of the page.
|
|
|
Specifies
the period of the pattern cycle for the leader patterns of
dots, use-content
,
and in some cases
rule
.
The value may be
a valid measurement.
If the content width is shorter that
the value of this property, each repetition of the pattern content
is padded with a blank space to fill out the width. If the content
width is longer than the value of this property, the leader pattern
width is ignored.
