An easier alternative would be to "pick" the layout information from an existing paragraph, just giving it a name. My patch does just that for charstyles. The problem then is how to get the LaTeX generated and included to do the corresponding thing on output. For fonts (what user-defined charstyles are about) that was fairly straightforward. > But I agree we have to be careful. We need to provide what is useful, > while making the rest difficult.

And us, who are supposed to support it. - Martin
