However, it is possible to change the format of an individual
entry by using the form:
<P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=3 COLS=1><TR><TD> <code>*</code><em>object</em> <em>arrows</em>
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
This allows complete control over what object is placed in the entry,
overriding any spacing and other conventions for the entry. This was
how the frame was obtained in the figure in
section <A HREF="node5.html#basicsentries">1.2</A>.
<P>
A simple use of this is to insert text in entries using <code>\txt</code> objects just like
labels as described above in section <A HREF="node13.html#arrowsobjects">2.2</A>:
<BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>\xymatrix{
*\txt{A very long and stupid\\program}
\ar[rr]^-{\txt{weird\\arrow}}
&&*\txt<2pc>{Com\-pli\-cated\\Code}}</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>
