dottab – Insert dots to following (right-aligned) text
Description
<dottab [ $outdent ] />
Insert a string of dots to fill the space to the text which follows <dottab />
, which is right-aligned. This
gives the appearance seen in e.g. a table of contents, or a menu with prices. A minimum of 3 dots (with spaces either
side) is inserted. If the text which follows the <dottab />
will not fit on a single line, the default tab of
' ... '
is added, and text is not right-aligned.
Note: If a space is required after the <dottab>
use a non-breaking space
From mPDF 5.7+ CSS styles can be applied to <dottab>
as for an inline element.
