In addition, if that following character tabulation stop has been set by TABULATION ALIGN CENTRE (TAC), TABULATION ALIGN LEADING EDGE (TALE), TABULATION ALIGN TRAILING EDGE (TATE) or TABULATION CENTRED ON CHARACTER (TCC), HT indicates the beginning of a string of text which is to be positioned within a line according to the properties of that tabulation stop. The end of the string is indicated by the next occurrence of HT or CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) or NEXT LINE (NEL) in the data stream.
