7.6.4 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.
