Summary | Specifies the style or styles applied to text in an object. | ||||||
Introduced | 1.0 | ||||||
Changes | The "link" style was introduced in version 1.1. In previous versions, the term "group" was used. The term "group" is still available as a partial synonym: setting the textStyle of a chunk to "group" sets it to "link". As of version 5.0.2 a new array variant of the textStyle property has been added allowing for access to individual textStyles independently from the others by specifying the required style as an array key. | ||||||

Description | Use the textStyle property to change the appearance of text. Setting the textStyle to "plain" turns off all styles. (Setting the textStyle to "plain" plus one or more additional styles may result in anomalous behavior.) Setting the textStyle of an object to empty allows the textStyle of the object's owner to show through. Use the effective keyword to find out what style is used for the object, even if its own textStyle is empty. Similarly, use the effective keyword to find out what style is used for a chunk of text, even if the chunk's textStyle is empty. If you request the textStyle of a chunk which includes multiple style runs--for example, some bold and some plain text--the property reports "mixed". The "link" style can be used only for chunks of a field, not for objects. Setting the textStyle of a chunk to "link" turns it into a text group.
Here, style can be one of bold, condensed, expanded, italic, oblique, box, threedbox, underline, strikeout, link. For example:
