"Masked"

• "Masked" is an option for characters that determines if text is hidden by replacing each character with an asterisk.

• This option is useful, for example, in an interface requiring a user password, so that passwords typed by a user are not displayed on the screen.
• The default setting is "Masked" Rule False.

"CompatibilityType"

• "CompatibilityType" is an option for characters that determines if text is displayed in the subscript or superscript position, instead of at the normal height.

• This option is included to maintain consistency with Version 2.2, which did not support two-dimensional editing. The use of this option is discouraged in new notebooks. In Version 3 and later you can place text in the subscript or superscript position directly using keyboard editing commands.
• With the setting "CompatibilityType" Rule Superscript, the specified text is raised to the superscript position.
• With the setting "CompatibilityType" Rule Subscript, the specified text is lowered to the subscript position.
• With the default setting "CompatibilityType" Rule Normal, text is positioned at its normal height above the baseline of the cell.

"RotationAngle"

• "RotationAngle" is an option for characters that determines the angle at which a character is oriented with respect to the baseline of the surrounding text. (Windows only.)

• With the default setting, "RotationAngle" Rule Normal, the baseline of a character coincides with the baseline of the surrounding text.
