Description

Text styles, for applications that wish to speak of such things. The example here shows Tex-Edit Plus returning a text style record. (See "Records" in Chapter 20.) This is a record consisting of two lists, the on styles (those that are applied to a piece of text) and the off styles (those that are not applied to a piece of text). The items of each list are text styles. The piece of text we're asking about here is underlined.

Example

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
    set tsr to style of word 4 of document 1
    on styles of tsr -- {underline}
end tell
