Inline
Run-in (print/PDF only)
Select an option for run-in styling for titles or other elements in PTC ALD or FOSI output. The list contains options for the position of the element with which the title (or other element) should appear on the same line:
<Derive>: inherit system default (Off)
Off: element is displayed in its own line
With preceding: an item’s content will run into the content of the sibling item that comes after it
With following: an item’s content will run into the content of the sibling item that comes before it
With both: an item’s content will run into the content of the sibling items that come before and after it
Refer to Run-in Styling for further information.
* 
For PTC ALD output, a run-in sequence must start with an element styled with a With following or With both setting. It will not start with an element styled as Inline or with a text node.
This option is not available for XSL-FO output.
This feature is not supported for property sets. The field is disabled in the Property Sets list view.

Print/PDF and RTF only
Word breaking
Turn hyphenation on or off for print and PDF output, and configure how words should break.
To activate hyphenation, set this field to Hyphenate
To specify that words can break but without displaying a hyphen, select Break without hyphen.
Select Do not break if you do not want words in the context to break.
Select <Derive> to use hyphenation settings based on system default, property set, or ancestor settings.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
Refer to Hyphenation for more information.
<Derive>
Language
Set the hyphenation language to be used when hyphenating the element content. The menu contains a list of supported hyphenation languages for print and PDF output, with their language codes.
Select <Derive> to use hyphenation settings based on system default, property set, or ancestor settings. If this setting does not return a value the language will be set to the default document language specified in the language properties of the stylesheet. See Stylesheet Properties — Language for further information.
Select (Use document language) to use the document language resolved from language settings configured in the Language tab of the Stylesheet Properties dialog box. If language settings do not return a value the language will be set to the default document language specified in the language properties of the stylesheet.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
<Derive>
Start new
Indicate if you want the element to start a new column, page, odd page, or even page.
Select No change if you want the element to follow the preceding element on the same column or page (if it will fit).
If you select one of the page options, the Page Set Name field will be activated, allowing you to specify the page set object that should be used to format the pages for the element.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
No change
Columns
Specify the number of columns in which Arbortext Editor will format the element. When the element ends, the number of columns reverts to its previous value. You can specify from 1 to 8 columns or select No change to continue with the current layout when the element starts.
Select <Derive> to set column layout based on system default, property set, or ancestor settings.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
No change
Page set
Name
This setting is available only when Start new is set to Page, Odd Page, or Even Page and the selected style allows page sets.
Choose a page set to be used to format all pages containing the content of the selected element. The menu contains a list of page sets configured for the stylesheet.
Choose No change to continue with the page set currently in effect when the element starts.
Select <Derive> to use the page set defined in system default, property set, or ancestor settings.
The page set you choose remains in effect for the duration of the selected element.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
No change
Page number
This setting is available only when a page set is started, i.e. when Start new is set to Page, Odd Page, or Even Page and the Name field of the Page set group is not No change.
Set the first number of the page set using one of the following options:
<Derive>: number the page set based on system default, property set, or ancestor settings.
Continue: use the next number in sequence after previous numbered elements have had their numbers applied
Initial: restart numbering at 1
Start at: specify that numbering should start at a particular number. You must also click the Start At button to invoke the dialog box in which you can define the start at number.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
Continue
Start At
This button is only enabled when the Page number field is set to Start at.
Invokes the Page Number Start At dialog box, in which you can define the number at which numbering should start.
This button is unavailable if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs), Print/PDF, or RTF.
Landscape page body for duration of element
This option is available only when Start new is set to Page, Odd Page, or Even Page. Starting a landscape orientation when not starting a new page is not recommended as it can produce unexpected results.
This option is not available for property sets in a stylesheet set to generate print/PDF output via the FOSI engine.
Setting this option to Yes for an element has different effects depending on the base orientation of the active page set:
When the page set's page orientation is portrait, selecting this option starts a new page with the body of the page printed in a landscape orientation (rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise). Headers and footers remain in a portrait orientation for the duration of this element context or condition. This is commonly used to produce landscape tables in portrait documents.
When the page set's page orientation is landscape, selecting this option rotates the body of each page 90 degrees counterclockwise, giving a portrait page body and landscape headers and footers.
If the elements that start Landscape page body for duration of element are nested, only the outermost setting has any effect.
This field is unavailable if the stylesheet is destined for non-print/PDF outputs, i.e. if the Outputs to Edit field is set to a value other than Base (All Outputs) or Print/PDF.
