Because Quancept CAPI runs in a graphical environment, more text formatting control is provided on the interviewing screen than is possible in character-based Quancept. These text formatting options are defined in the script by a formatting code enclosed in angle brackets. For example, to switch bold on and off, the following codes are used:

These formatting codes serve no purpose in the generated Quantum texts and so are always removed by the qdiaxes program.

In addition to the formatting control provided with Quancept CAPI, the Quancept Web product allows the scriptwriter to embed HTML directives into texts. Such directives are usually enclosed in angle brackets and can optionally be removed from the qdiaxes output by using the –a option.

For details on all the text-formatting options available with Quancept CAPI and Quancept Web, see the documentation relating to these products.
