Formatting and Styling kinds
OooDev ooodev.formats provides a set of classes and functions to format and style text and documents.
There are three types of formatting and styling: direct, modify and style.
Direct formatting applies changes directly to an object. Much like setting a selection of text to bold or italic in LibreOffice Writer. See Write Direct Character FontEffects Class as an example.
Modify formatting applies changes to a style in the document. Such a character style or a paragraph style. See Write Modify Paragraph Area Color as an example.
Style formatting applies changes to a style of an object. Such as setting a character style to Drop Caps. See Write Style Char Class as an example.
