Decorations

Paragraph decorations, created around your text styles, can be used to differentiate blocks of text using decorative styles that will always move relative to the text.

Paragraph decorations are applied at text style level. They can be created via the Paragraph panel and will remain unaffected by any edits applied to your text, saving you the trouble of having to reposition them each time your text is altered.

A decoration could take the form of a pull quote, note style, colored heading fill or colored underline. You can customize the position, indent, stroke/fill, and transparency of a decoration.
