Jacqueline,

Thanks to you, I'm just beginning to appreciate how wonderful these new features are. Has anyone written a demo stack of this stuff?

Thanks,
Roger

Add a borderwidth if you want, or a textstyle. See the release notes for all the cool new paragraph features you can use. Basically almost all the field-level properties we have can now be applied to individual lines.
