Paragraph defaults overview

The default value is 10pt. The hard-coded default value of 10pt is probably unsuitable. It is recommended to set the default leading to whatever is most common type size for the purpose of that format.

Tag to supersede defaults: >ld..<

The default value is 0pt. The hard-coded default value of 0 is probably unsuitable. It is recommended to set the default starting indent to whatever is most common for the purpose of that format, e.g. 6pt or similar. It is not possible to specify the relative value, e.g. EM or similar.

Tag to supersede defaults: >is..<.

Used for the column width of unlinked texts to which is assigned that format. The default value is 240pt. The hard-coded default value of 240pt is probably unsuitable. It is recommended to set the default column width to the width of the standard page column in your publication.

Tag to supersede defaults: >m..<.

In a linked text, this setting is ignored and the width of the linked frame is used instead.

Used for the justification of the line in which the user presses <SHIFT+8> to insert a new line. The default value of the check box "Use with end line" is not selected. This means that the line, with the end-line sign will be "justified" if the entire paragraph is "justified".The hard-coded default value is not recommended. Select the box.

Tag to supersede defaults: >q..< with the second parameter equals to 1.

The default value is "justified" for all lines except the last one. "left" for the last lines. Set the alignments to whatever is most common for the purpose of that format, e.g. justified for all the lines except the last one and left for the last line.

Tags to supersede defaults: >pa...< and >q..<.

By default, text is not locked to the grid, and the paragraphs will not be aligned across the multiple columns if you insert column heads.

Tag to supersede defaults: >grid...<.

Enabled by default. This means that even headlines will by hyphenated.

Tag to supersede defaults: >ehyp <.

Disabled by default. It means that the top compensation will be approx 66% of the type size, which is suitable for roman serif fonts, such as Times-Roman, but will make top of capitals of typical sans-serif fonts to get out a little bit from the justification frames.

Tag to supersede defaults: >ta...< and GNML tag with the second parameter set to '1'.

Zero by default, suitablefor a normal text flow. Change them only if you really need a special settings.

Tags to supersede defaults: >eld...< and >bld...<.

Disabled by default, which means that the text leading won't vary even if the text is too short or too long for the assigned space. You can enable it on paragraph level and between the paragraphs.

Tags to supersede defaults of leading variation:

•if variable leading is enabled: >ld...< with 2nd and 3rd parameter set to 0

•if variable paragraph spacing is enabled: >eld...< with 2nd and 3rd parameter set to 0

•if variable leading is disabled: >ld...< with 2nd and 3rd parameter set to non zero

•if variable paragraph spacing is disabled: >eld...< with 2nd and 3rd parameter set non zero

The default value is set to typographical standard values of 260, 310 and 360 1/1000ths of EM space. It is, however, possible to customize it for the default text. The hard-coded default values are suitable for a normal text flow. Change them only if you really need a special settings.

Tag to supersede defaults: >spb...<.

Zero by default.

Tags to supersede defaults: >il...< or >ir..<.

Disabled by default. Warning: enabled orphan control may cause a white space to appear at the bottom of the column if the vertical justification of text is not enabled, or is too strict.

Tags to supersede defaults: >ktt...< or >ktb..< or >kn...<.

Disabled by default. It is recommended not to change it.
