36 point First Line Indent, 16 point Right Indent, 14 point Leading, 9 point
Space Before, 18 point Space After, and does not lock to the baseline grid. You
can specify the first line of a paragraph as a percentage of an em space by using
a decimal percentage value in the First Line Indent position (for example, use
0.6 for 60%). In the Lock to Grid position, G = lock to baseline grid; g = do not
lock to baseline grid, and the two values in parentheses indicate whether to lock
to the page grid (P) or box grid (B) and how to align the characters (T — top/right,
C = center, S = baseline, B = bottom/left).

Hyphenation and justification specification: <*h"specification name">.
Hyphenation and justification specifications must already exist within the
QuarkXPress project before you import tagged text that specifies them. If you
specify a hyphenation and justification specification in XPress Tags and
QuarkXPress cannot locate the specification in the project's list of hyphenation
and justification specifications, the Standard hyphenation and justification
specification is substituted. The maximum length for the names of style sheets
and of hyphenation and justification specifications is 63 characters.

Paragraph rule above**: <*ra(##,#,"color name",#,##,##,## or ##%)>.
Values in parentheses represent Width, Style, "color name", Shade, From Left,
From Right, and Offset. Enter rule widths and indents in points. You can enter
"T" in front of the left indent value to base rule length on the first line of text.
Rules Style options are 0 for Solid, 1 for Dotted, 2 for Dotted 2, 3 for Dash Dot,
4 for All Dots, 5 for Double, 6 for Thin-Thick, 7 for Thick-Thin, 8 for
Thin-Thick-Thin, 9 for Thick-Thin-Thick, and 10 for Triple. Shade is a
percentage. You can specify a rule's offset value in points or as a percentage (#%).
For example, <*ra(4,5,"Blue",100,T12,12,50%)> would format a Rule Above
4 points wide in the Double style, 100% Blue, indented 12 points From Left and
From Right (based on the first line of text), and Offset 50%.
•
Paragraph rule below**: <*ra(##,#,"color name",#,##,##,## or ##%)>.
Values in parentheses represent Width, Style, "color name", Shade, From Left,
From Right, and Offset. Enter rule widths and indents in points. You can enter
"T" in front of the left indent value to base rule length on the first line of text.
Rules Style options are 0 for Solid, 1 for Dotted, 2 for Dotted 2, 3 for Dash Dot,
4 for All Dots, 5 for Double, 6 for Thin-Thick, 7 for Thick-Thin, 8 for
Thin-Thick-Thin, 9 for Thick-Thin-Thick, and 10 for Triple. Shade is a
percentage. You can specify a rule's offset value in points or as a percentage (#%).
For example, <*rb(2,0,C,50,6,18,30%)> would format a Rule Below 2 points
wide in the Solid style, 50% Cyan, indented 6 points From Left and 18 points
From Right, and Offset 30%.

Hanging character set: <*s"hanging character set name">. If the layout
does not contain a hanging character set by this name, no hanging character set
is applied. However, if you subsequently add a hanging character set with this
name, that hanging character set is applied to the text.
