CellDingbat

CellDingbat

is an option for Cell which specifies what dingbat to use to emphasize a cell.

Details

  • The setting CellDingbat->None displays no dingbat.
  • Dingbats are placed to the left of the main contents of a cell, aligned with the first line of the contents.
  • By default, dingbats are placed outside of the cell frame, if it exists, at a distance specified by CellDingbatMargin. The dingbat can be moved inside the cell frame by specifying a negative value for CellDingbatMargin.
  • The setting for CellDingbat can be any string or Cell expression. A typical setting is "\[FilledSquare]".
  • CellDingbat is often set for styles of cells rather than for individual cells.
  • The dingbat can be modified interactively using the default toolbar available in Window ▶ Toolbar.
