</FORMAT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The MERGE attribute lets you control whether formatting from one <RICHTEXT> or
<PARAGRAPH> element is carried forward to the next. For example, the following XML
would result in "has risen" being italicized:
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="BodyText">
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The </RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="12"ITALIC="TRUE">sun</RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="true" SIZE="10"> has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
However, this XML would result in "has risen" being plain:
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="BodyText">
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The </RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="12" ITALIC="TRUE">sun</RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false" SIZE="10"> has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The default value for <MERGE> is "false."
To combine local formatting with style sheets, simply add attributes to the <RICHTEXT>
elements within a <PARAGRAPH> element. For example:
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="BodyText">
<RICHTEXT COLOR="Red">The </RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT COLOR="Yellow" CHARSTYLE="Emphasis">sun</RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT COLOR="Red"> has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
Formatting across paragraph boundaries
You can use two methods to describe a run of formatting that crosses a paragraph boundary.
The first is to simply close the first <PARAGRAPH> element and then open a new one. For
example:
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The sun has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10">The sun has set.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The second is to use a &hardReturn; entity to create the paragraph break. For example:
<PARAGRAPH>
<RICHTEXT SIZE="10"
>The sun has risen.&hardReturn;The sun has set.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
Retrieving copyfitting information
In deconstructed projects, a <BOX> element can contain a <LINKEDBOX> element. The
<LINKEDBOX> element indicates the point where text has overflowed the current box and
identifies the box where the text continues. The <LINKEDBOX> element also contains
attributes that indicate where in the text the break occurs.
In a <STORY> element, the <OVERMATTER> element indicates where the current box
overflows when there is no subsequent box for text to flow into. A <STORY> element also
contains a <COPYFIT> element indicating how many words, characters, and lines should
