Values are listed only where real documents use a small, closed set; the number after each is how many documents use it. “Seen in” is the share of documents containing ParagraphStyleRange that set the attribute.
Examples
- A numbered list
- Paragraph marks, a forced line break and a style run
- A paragraph with tab stops
- Two paragraphs in one story
