Definition

The name of a style. The name of a style may have a maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters, consisting of block letters and digits. It must start with a letter.

A style in SAPscript is a profile for text creation. Styles comprise a number of different elements available to the user for formatting texts in documents.

To be able to use these elements in a text, the text must be assigned to the relevant style. This is done in the SAPscript Standard Text Editor via menu selection. A list of all existing styles in the system is displayed, from which the user can select one.

Style definition comprises the following elements:

Header data:

This is general information about the style such as the name of the user who created it, a short text describing the style and so on.

Paragraphs:

Paragraphs are the actual creation entities in SAPscript. Every text entered in the editor consists of a number of different paragraphs. The start of a paragraph is indicated by a paragraph marker in the left column of the editor. The names and attributes of the paragraphs are defined in the style.

Paragraph attributes can be, for example, the text alignment or justification, line spaces, or the font used.

Character strings:

Character strings are structure elements that affect a text block in a paragraph. They are inserted in the running text. The start of a text block is indicated by the character string <XX>, and the end by the character string </>. XX here stands for the name of the character string defined in the style.
