I'm not sure I follow... In pages if I have

Hello <b>World</b> Foo <i>Bar</i>

If I select the whole lot - then 'textStyle["bold"]' (in LC speak) will 
be 'mixed' - this is indicated by the 'Bold' button in pages not being 
highlighted. If I click the 'Bold' button then it does the equivalent of 
'set the textStyle["bold"] of the selectedChunk to true', if I click 
again it does the same as setting the same property to false. In both 
cases 'Bar' remains italic.

The key thing here is that using the array form of textStyle treats each 
individual text style completely separately.

Perhaps I misunderstand what you meant?

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
