The Rich Text Format codes \fi<n> and \li<n> used for creating help
files are incorrectly described in the online help. The online help
states that the code \fi<n> indents the first line of the paragraph
<n> spaces, and the code \li<n> indents the entire paragraph <n>
spaces from the left margin.
However, the value of <n> 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).
Page 4 of the "Professional Advisor Library Reference" describes the
RTF codes \fi and \li but does not mention the <n> parameter to indent
the paragraphs.
Page 155 of the "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques" manual
describes the correct syntax for the RTF codes but does not mention the
format for <n>.
