Styles in the "English (UEB) - UK formatting" Template (2017 Edition)
Note: This topic lists the DBT styles in the English (UEB) - UK formatting template, as of 2017. The template has been revised considerably since then, but this documentation has not. However, this is the best autopsy of a template we have. So study this for the richness of the documentation, not for the actual content.
The main body of this topic is presented as a single Styles table whose columns are the style name, the type (as below), the beginning codes for the style, and the ending codes.
DBT Style Name: The styles are listed alphabetically. For each style, you can click on the "More..." button for additional information. (You can also click on the Show All / Hide All button at the top of the table.)
Type: This field is a short letter code that indicates what sort of style this is.
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Blank) | This style applies to the entire document. |
| C | This is a Character style. |
| C/h | This character style is normally hidden. |
| P | This style is applied to a paragraph, a.k.a., a "linear" style. |
| P/h | This paragraph style is normally hidden. |
The paragraph/linear styles are also identifiable by the period (full stop) at the end of their names.
Beginning Codes and Ending Codes: Each individual code is a hyperlink to its entry in the "Codes Quick Reference", where you can find a detailed explanation of its use.
