Define an alternate set of styles

You can define an alternate set of styles. This may be useful in the following cases:

  • To lay out Text Blocks in several different styles with one document
  • To lay out the content of table cells differently from the text style used in the Text Block

To do so, you may create an alternate style set with a new prefix, define each style in this set, and apply them to your Text Blocks.

Example

XXX_normal. Alternate style for a regular text

XXX_header. Alternate style for the header

XXX_table. Alternate style for a regular table

Use the STYLE_PREFIX keyword on the statement TEXTBLOCK to insert the Text Block with an alternate style in the result document (for more information on this keyword, see TEXTBLOCK statement).
