2026/Apr/16 Version 1.6.0 Beta 3
Introducing styles
  • It is now possible to create styles. A style is a collection of formatting properties.
  • To create a style, use one of the new tags in the "presets/style" category.
    For the moment, you can create styles pointing to presets.
    (When using a preset from your collection, it must be flagged as "design").
  • Styles can have an ID.
    You can use the ID in markups to format text.
    Use markups {sty:id} and {/sty} to format segments of text.
    Use markup {lsty:id} to format the entire text line.
    Use markup {psty:id} to format the entire paragraph.
  • Use the "apply style" tag to apply a style to a project, track, subtitle, exporter, etc.
  • If you create a style using an existing ID, it will replace the existing style. In this way you can override styles.
  • Styles are useful to control formatting of text from a single tag.
    For example, instead of using markups "{yellow}{b}" to make text lines yellow and bold, create a style and use markup "{lsty:speaker2}".
