Example: Formatting a Compound Layout Text Object With Markup Tags
The following request displays a text object with markup tags in a PDF output file:

SET PAGE-NUM=OFF
SET LAYOUTGRID=ON
TABLE FILE GGSALES
BY REGION NOPRINT
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS LINESP1 FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
type=report, size=8, $
object=string, position=(1 1), dimension=(7 3), wrap=on, markup=on, linespacing=multiple(3),
text='This paragraph is triple-spaced (LINESPACING=MULTIPLE(3)): Our primary goal for fiscal 2006 was to accelerate our transformation to customer centricity. In this letter, I’d like to give you an update on this work, which contributed to the 22-percent increase in earnings from continuing operations we garnered for fiscal 2006. Since the past is often prologue to the future, I’d like to describe how customer centricity is influencing not only our goals for fiscal 2007, but also our long-term plans. At Gotham Grinds, customer centricity means treating each customer as a unique individual, meeting their needs with end-to-end solutions, and engaging and energizing our employees to serve them.', $

Here is the link to the documentation I found. It's on IBI's tech support site.
