Model Team,

Here are the descriptions of additional text formatting attributes for
the issue on
page 33 of the 1.4 spec. I started the section numbers based on version
1.4 of
the spec.

5.2.8.15 font-style (type2Enum)

This job attribute specifies the style of the font to use for all text in
the document.

The standard values are:

normal The characters are upright.
bold The characters are bolded or highlighted.
italic The characters are italicized.
bold-italic The characters are bolded and italicized.

NOTE TO MODEL TEAM: There are more styles but I tried to list the most
common
styles to hit the 80-20 rule so we don't spend too much time on this
matter.

5.2.8.16 insert-line-numbers (boolean)

This job attribute specifies that the lines should be numbered in the
document. Line
numbers will appear throughout the document on the left side of each
printed line.

5.2.8.17 text-border (boolean)

This job attribute specifies that a border should be drawn around each
logical text
block within the text document. The border shall be drawn throughout
the text
document on each page. A logical text block can be the entire page or
a column.

The standard values are:

yes Draw a border.
no Do not draw a border.

5.2.8.18 word-wrap (boolean)

This job attribute specifies how long lines are printed in the
document.

The standard values are:

yes Any text that extends beyond the right margin is moved to the
next print line.
no Any text that extends beyond the right margin is truncated at
the right margin.

5.2.8.19 file-name (boolean)

This job attribute automatically prints the file name of a document on
each logical
page. The file name appears throughout the document at a location on
the page
determined by an implementation.

The standard values are:

yes Print the file name on each logical page.
no Do not print the file name on each logical page.

5.2.8.20 file-date (boolean)

This job attribute automatically prints the file date of a document on
each logical
page. The file date appears throughout the document at a location on
the page
determined by an implementation.

The standard values are:

yes Print the file date on each logical page.
no Do not print the file date on each logical page.

5.2.8.21 file-time (boolean)

This job attribute automatically prints the file time of a document on
each logical
page. The file time appears throughout the document at a location on
the page
determined by an implementation.

The standard values are:

yes Print the file time on each logical page.
no Do not print the file time on each logical page.

NOTE TO MODEL TEAM. Support for file-name, file-date and file-time
requires that
these values be passed with a print job so the IPP Printer can place
this information
on each page. We might assert job-name has file-name. File
information is useful
so an end-user remembers what file they printed. I suppose if a
Printer prints an
HTML file by reference, then the file-name is the URL of the file. I'm
not sure how to
get file-date and file-time in that case.

Let's discuss at our telecon on Friday, 2/28.
