Attributes
Unit
Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is PER for negative values and DT for positive values. For details about PER and DT, see Units of measure.
F
Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.
If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.
Err
Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

If SpLine is a negative value, lines of text may overlap. This value is independent of the scale of the drawing. If the drawing is scaled, the line spacing remains the same.
The SpLine element is relevant only when contained in a Shape or StyleSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet or PageSheet element.
