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
|
String
|
The tab stop alignment is one of the following
values:
center
left
right
decimal
Specifies a
center-aligned tab stop.
Specifies a
left-aligned tab stop.
Specifies a
right-aligned tab stop.
Specifies
a tab stop that aligns content around a radix point.
|
String
|
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.

String

The tab-stop measurement is any valid measurement.
