To define an output format, create a section named for the format in the appropriate format configuration file. The settings in this section are all of the form property = value:
[FormatName]
property1 = value1
property2 = value2a value2b value2c ...
. . .
The collection of properties you can specify depends on which kind of format you are defining: paragraph, character, component, table, or page. For example, for a paragraph format named Heading1 you might specify the following properties:
[Heading1]
based = Body
section = Section
keep = next
break = page
font size = 20pt
font weight = bold
margin top = 18pt
margin bottom = 6pt
You can use macros in output-format settings. However, you cannot define macros in a format configuration file; you must define them in macro libraries. See §37.2.4 Including macro definitions in your own macro library.
