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.
