Description
The paragraph lump attribute is the original method used to define the structural specifications of paragraph styles in PTC ALD.
 
Example 380. Sample paragraph lump attribute
This example shows a paragraph lump attribute, for example within a style tag, that defines the indented/normal paragraph setting with 2.5mm margins on the left and right:
<?0,0,2.5,0,2.5,1,0,0,0,0,5>
Syntax
<?0,... ('- | +' )? '=' ( first no:n second no:n third no:f fourth no:f fifth no:f sixth no:n seventh no:n eighth no:f ninth no:f tenth no:f eleventh no:n )>

Additional Information
Most paragraph styles contain a 'paragraph lump attribute' which, at its simplest, looks like this: <?0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,5>. The lump attribute is automatically constructed by the dialog boxes accessed via the Styles > Structure... menu choice and in most cases it will be unnecessary for the user to modify this code directly. The first eleven numbers are always present.
 
The lump attribute is often unnecessary for use in paragraph style definition since all of the items defined within it can be defined with individual PI commands and properties.
