Format change lists

A format change list specifies how a paragraph format changes when a format rule clause applies. A change
list can specify a change to just a single paragraph property, or it can specify changes to a long list of
properties.
A format change list can be named or unnamed. A named change list appears in the Format Change List
Catalog. Format rule clauses that use a named change list specify its name (or tag). Multiple rule clauses
can specify the same named change list. An unnamed change list appears in a rule clause. It is used only by
the rule clause in which it appears.
FmtChangeListCatalog statement
The FmtChangeListCatalog statement defines the contents of the Format Change List Catalog. A
document can have only one FmtChangeListCatalog statement which must appear at the top level in the
order given in "MIF file layout" on page 18.
Syntax
<FmtChangeListCatalog
<FmtChangeList...>
<FmtChangeList...>

FmtChangeList statement
The FmtChangeList statement creates a format change list definition. The FmtChangeList statement for a
named change list must appear in the FmtChangeListCatalog statement. The FmtChangeList statement
for a unnamed change list must appear in the format rule clause that uses it.
A change list can specify absolute values or relative values. For example, it can specify that the paragraph
left indent is one inch or it can specify that it is one inch greater than the inherited left indent. Alternatively,
a change list can simply specify a paragraph catalog format to apply to a paragraph. If it does this, it can't
specify changes to any other paragraph properties.
