.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmTabList\fR is the data type for a tab list\&. A tab list consists
of tab stop list entries (\fBXmTab\fRs)\&. Whenever a tab component is
encountered while an \fBXmString\fR is being rendered, the origin of
the next X draw depends on the next \fBXmTab\fR\&. If a tab stop would
cause text to overlap, the x position for the segment is reset to
follow immediately after the end of the previous segment\&.
.PP
Tab lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:
.PP
.nf
\fIresource_spec\fP\fB:\fP \fItab\fP WHITESPACE [, WHITESPACE \fItab\fP ]*
.fi
.PP
The resource value string consists of one or more tabs separated by
commas\&. Each \fItab\fP identifies the value of the tab, the unit
type, and whether the offset is relative or absolute\&. For example:
.PP
.nf
\fItab\fP := \fIfloat\fP [ WHITESPACE \fIunits\fP ]
\fIfloat\fP := [ \fIsign\fP ] [[ DIGIT]*\&. ]DIGIT+
\fIsign\fP := +
.fi
.PP
where the presence or absence of \fIsign\fP indicates, respectively, a
relative offset or an absolute offset\&. Note that negative tab values
are not allowed\&. \fIunits\fP indicates the unitType to use as
described in the \fBXmConvertUnits\fP reference page\&.
.PP
For example, the following specifies a tab list consisting of a one
inch absolute tab followed by a one inch relative tab:
.PP
.nf
\f(CW*tabList: 1in, +1in\fR
.fi
.PP
.PP
For resources of type, dimension, or position, you can specify units
as described in the \fBXmNunitType\fP resource of the
\fBXmGadget\fP, \fBXmManager\fP, or \fBXmPrimitive\fP reference page\&.
