This multi-dec multi-element styles is a more complicated case and the most suitable solution depends on the predictability of the decks number.

If the number of the headline decks is predictable

If the number of the headline decks is predictable, and it is, for example, 2 decks, you need to create 3 headline styles for the above example.

The first headline style will format the first line of the headline and you will set its chaining to the second headline style. This allows you to press the RETURN key to switch to the second line of the headline.

The second headline style will format the second line of the headline and it will contain exactly the same formatting as the first headline style, but you will set its chaining to the subhead style. This allows you to press the RETURN key to switch to the subhead.

If the number of the headline decks is NOT predictable

If the number of the headline decks is not predictable, you won't be able to use the same key to insert a new line in headline and to switch to the subhead line. We recommend that you create 2 headline styles for the above example.

The first headline style will format the headline and you will set its chaining to the subhead style. You will need to press the SHIFT+RETURN key to switch to the next headline line, but to press the RETURN key to switch to the subhead line.
