Usually used to format headings or sections in a document. Are you perhaps asking about the settings for a line (rule) above or below a paragraph that you can set in the Paragraph Decorations? If so, that's the bottom of the panel that Bryan showed, or in the Paragraph Text Style definition.

evtonic3 Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 The options for a bottom line don't make sense to me. The most common widths are text or column. This has x-height, ascender, descender, etc, of which I've never heard of. Is this a bug? The right or left rules DO have this setting to make something column but doesn't really do anything when I turn those on and select the column option for those. This is all a big mess IMO.

The x-height etc. are the options for positioning the bottom rule distance vertically from the text. For the length of the rule, you use the Left and Right settings, not the Bottom setting.

Of course the options for Top & Bottom refer to the vertical position, while, depending on the font face, "Descent" can lead to quite different visual results than e.g. "X-Height".
