What does this sign mean..?

[Quant]

Hi,

I have found an example on the web of an resourceplanner and in this example did they use this sign: "¶"

resource_data_1::Res_data_status & "¶" &.

What is the function of this sign..??

Thanks,

Frans

The name of the character is "pilcrow".

Interstingly, according to wikipedia the character is old: it dates back to the middle ages.

is the same as in word editor.

It's the same as Char (13). In a text editor, you'd probably use r.

I think he means that in Ms Word, the pilcrow is used to show carriage returns when the show invisible character option is enabled (and the pilcrow is the icon used to toggle the option).

It is Mrs. Word to you.

Son, that's no lady, she's my word processor.

Outside of Ms Word, a book is a man's best friend. Inside Ms Word, it's too dark to read.
