The purpose of the char styles is to be used for inline elements, that is elements that are placed inside a paragraph. Currently every char style is reset after the paragraph end, and if necessary set at the begin of the new. Why should the custom char styles behave in a different way, or if they do it call it a different name. > I might use a charstyle to set large amounts (several paragraphs or an > entire chapter) in a different color.
