Text Styles

Text stylesSometimes you need to format several pieces of text similarly in order to have the same type of alignment, same font, same color, etc. This can be done using the Inspector.

Swift Publisher can store a set of text settings as a text style. You can give it a name, save and use any time later. By using styles, you can apply several text parameters at once.

To apply a text style to a paragraph, select a piece of text, click Text Styles on the toolbar and select a style from the list.


The Edit Text Styles Dialog

Adding, editing and deleting text styles can be done by using the Edit Text Styles dialog. To open it, choose the Format > Edit Text Styles menu item or click Text Styles in the toolbar and select Edit.

At the left part of this dialog there is a list of styles. The "+" button under the list adds a new style, "-" removes the selected one.
To rename a style, double click its name in the list.

At the top, there is a preview of the selected style.

Text formatting controls have the same purposes as corresponding controls in the Inspector. For more detail, see the Text Formatting section.

If you have a piece of text formatted before, you can save the formatting as a text style. For this, select Format > Add Text Style From Selection in the menu when a part of this text is selected.
