\effect

Summary

The command \effect is used to apply a text effect to the content.

Settings

\effect[...]{...}
[...]name
{...}content

OptionExplanation
predefined or own name
name normal hidden inner outer both stretch
{...} text

Description

The predefined effect inner and both are useful to get a slightly lighter or bolder font if there’s no suitable face.

outer gives just the outline. These are influenced by the rulethickness parameter.

You can use hidden to get an empty space in the size of a piece of text.

The stretch effect causes miscalculation of the text width and isn’t usable within running text.
