Style
The definition Style can be used in the Field definition only. This definition determines the appearance of the text being displayed/printed, by using a corresponding font scheme, i.e., Bold, Italic, Point Size, Font Name, etc. The Style attribute in Field Definition is used to format the appearance of the text appearing within the Field, both in Display and Print mode, provided the Print Style attribute is not used within the current Field.
Syntax
[Style : <Style Name>]
Font : <Font Name>
Height : <Font Height in Point Size>
Bold : <Logical Formula>
Italic : <Logical Formula>
Example
[Style: TSPL Style]
Height : Grow 25%
Bold : Yes
Italic : Yes
In this example, the Style definition named TSPL Style is used to control how the text appears within a field. It defines formatting properties such as size, weight, and style to enhance the visual presentation of text. The attribute Height : Grow 25% increases the text size by 25% compared to the default height, while Bold : Yes makes the text appear thicker for emphasis, and Italic : Yes slants the text to give it a stylized look.
