Creating a rule to move a font off of the baseline

[matta]

In a text rule, what is the appropriate way to move a font off of the baseline vertically?  I need to center a Winging font "bullet" to be centered ahead of a paragraph.

Hi, you can move a character up with the superscript tag. You could make a JS rule called bullet like this:

return "<span><superscript><f name=wingdings>&#000;</span>"; // replace 000 with the character number you want

The span tag saves the current font and point size (and superscript) and /span restores them back. You can also control how much the superscript tag moves text up by accessing the global settings (from the paragraph options dialog from the variable text editor.)
