7.6.3 Understanding based vs. inline
properties for paragraph formats
Properties inline and based are almost the same;
however, inline is a property only
of paragraph formats, and its value must be the name of a character format.
DITA2Go processes based first, then inline. Therefore you can
use the based property to base one
paragraph format on another, then change just the character properties
of the first paragraph by applying the inline property. For example:
[SomePara]
display = block
based = OtherPara
inline = SomeChar
With these settings, SomePara would have
all the characteristics of OtherPara, except
for the character properties of character format SomeChar.
