I'm fiddling about with a program that creates MIF files and changing one of its behaviours - instead of inserting character tags for special characters, such as <Char Tab>, I want to use the hexadecimal code. According to the Frame Character_Sets manual, the hex code for a tab (for example) is \x08. However logic - and every other hex code reference that I've checked - tells me it's 09, not 08 (logical because the ASCII code for a tab is 9). 08 is the code for a backspace. Even odder is that the 08 code does seem to work as a tab with FrameMaker.
Why is this different? And how can I tell which other codes are different from the standard set, other than checking each one individually? I'm puzzled about this! Anybody got any answers?
