 Remarks
Story lines are delimited by '\n'. Table Formatting is guided by the rules that determine when story line is considered a table line. Table strength is a setting that invokes a set of different rules in determining a table line. When a table line is located, the font of the table line is changed to a non-proportional font of same size and attributes of the original font. This helps in re-aligning the rows and columns of a table. The formatting is done on a line by line basis.
