Hi

is there a way to define paragraph style that append a character at end of paragraph ??

I want to define a paragraph style that place a character at next line of end of paragraph.

whenever i applied that style on my paragraph this will automatically add that character at next line.

for example, my paragraph is "My name is ABCD",  whenever i applied that style on it this will look like

"My name is ABCD"

         "D"

here  "D" is character placed at last line.

thanks

I don't think you can get this behaviour by just applying a style.

However, something a grep F/C would easily do

applied style myStyle

FIND (.+)

Replace $1\rD

First, you will need that extra line incorporated into the text imported from xml.

Next the character will have to be a single glyph in a custom font.

Then you use the same techniques you're using to apply the styles to the first paragraph to apply a second style to the "D" paragraph.

Sorry, busy! 

A simple auto-numbering para style!

Capture d’écran 2016-12-16 à 15.05.43.png

Note I used several spaces in "Texte après" to move the "D" on the line!

Of course, this trick only works on a one-line para! …

You could create a nested style that would apply none though a (trigger of your choice)  and then character style through one character. Use a dingbat of some sort for the character you want to use.

The deal was:

Watching the screen … and without doing anything else but applying a para style [adding a soft return is therefore totally forbidden!], getting the result, it means a letter "D" below the para!

A true work for a Jedi!

Hi

please find below another trick

I don't know how your design looks like, so it definitely might not be suitable....

The idea is to put an extra carriage after the paragraphs where you want to add the "D". I usually never recommend such a thing, but well.. this is for a trick...

Let's say your design allow Title para style (lets call it "h1"), then Normal para style, which must be followed by a "D" (lets call it "p").

You'll need a specific para style for the D, lets call it... "D" ^^

normal.jpg

OK now, set your h1 style as being followed by "p", set "p" to be followed by "D" and "D" to be followed by "p".

Set up your "D" para style with the desired bullet...

parasrtyle.jpg

puce.jpg

Now, here come the "magic".

Create a new object style, based on text frame.

Go to paragraph styles submenu, select first style to apply ("h1" in this demo)

and... tick "Apply next style"

objectstyle.jpg

Apply this object style to your text frame.

Here's the result:

Most probably completely useless trick but... i had fun ^^

regards

Vinny
