A Guide to XPress Tags 2022 | 3
Character and Paragraph Formatting
When you specify type styles using XPress Tags codes, <P> always sets the type
style to Plain. When you specify any other type style (for example, <B> for Bold),
that style is applied if it isn’t already specified, and is removed if it has been
specified. For example, the first time you specify <B>, the Bold type style is
applied to the text that follows. If you enter <B> again, the Bold type style is not
applied to the text that follows. If you enter <$>, the type style is set to the one
specified in the current style sheet. If a style sheet is not currently applied, the
Normal style sheet is used.
Font Styling
Font name can be specified in XPress Tags either by using the Postscript name
of the font or by using the Full Font name.
Example for Font PS Name:

Italic=<PIs100p100t0Y1h100z12k0b0cKf"TimesNewRomanPSMT"n0o("Calt","liga","
