Bullet style: <*bb"Bullet Style Name"(7.2,0,0)>. If the layout does not
contain a bullet style by this name, no bullet style is applied. In the parenthesized
list, the first number is the minimum distance between the bullet and the text,
the second number is the Start At value, and the third number is the Restart
Numbering flag (0 = false, 1=true). Note that the last value is irrelevant for bullet
styles.

style sheet values are used. If a style sheet is not currently applied, the Normal style
sheet is used. All numeric values in these two commands are measured in points.
**Any or all of the format codes can be replaced by a $ to use the current style sheet's
definition, or by a 0 to specify no rule (for example, <*ra$> and <*ra0>).
