SUMMARY
The Rich Text Format codes \fi and \li used for creating help files are incorrectly described in the online help. The online help states that the code \fi indents the first line of the paragraph  spaces, and the code \li indents the entire paragraph  spaces from the left margin.

However, the value of  is the number of twips and not the number of spaces. A twip is 1/20 of a point or 1/1440 of an inch; 180 twips approximates one space (that is, \li720 will indent the entire paragraph four spaces).



MORE INFORMATION
Page 4 of the &quot;Professional Advisor Library Reference&quot; describes the RTF codes \fi and \li but does not mention the  parameter to indent the paragraphs.

Page 155 of the &quot;Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques&quot; manual describes the correct syntax for the RTF codes but does not mention the format for .
