Setting character styles

As mentioned in 'Formatting the content', styles can be applied to different types of content. Whenever a comparably small amount of text is to be formatted, styles on character level should be applied.

Examples for character styles

To apply a certain character style

The advantage of such formatting is the possibility to be applied to an arbitrary (small) amount of consecutive characters down to single characters independent from other styles within a paragraph. Because character styles are stored with the portions of text they are belonging to, they are consuming comparably high storage space to the contrary.

To commonly format text over one or more paragraphs, paragraph styles should be used instead.
