ST_StyleType (Style Types)

This simple type specifies the possible values for the types of style definitions defined within a WordprocessingML document. WordprocessingML supports six types of style definitions:

• Paragraph styles

• Character styles

• Table styles

• Numbering styles

• Linked styles (paragraph + character)

• Default paragraph + character properties

Each of the first four types corresponds to a different value below, and therefore defines the type of the current style. [Note: The last two types are unique in that they are not simply a style type: a linked style is a pairing of a character and paragraph style via the link element (§2.7.3.6); and the document default properties are defined via the docDefaults element (§2.7.4.1). end note]

[Example: Consider a style defined as follows:

<w:style w:type="paragraph" … >
<w:name w:val="My Paragraph Style"/>
<w:rPr>
<w:b/>
</w:rPr>
</w:style>

The type attribute is of type ST_StyleType, and its value of paragraph specifies that this style definition creates a paragraph style. end example]

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

The following are possible enumeration values for this type:

Enumeration Value	Description
character (Character Style)	Specifies that the parent style definition is a character style.
numbering (Numbering Style)	Specifies that the parent style definition is a numbering style.
paragraph (Paragraph Style)	Specifies that the parent style definition is a paragraph style.
