Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a list of tips where each paragraph starts with a bold and colored title that extends up to the colon, automatically formed with nested style. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Nested style applies character style to the beginning of a paragraph based on rules, for example up to the colon or the first few words. It's very suitable for lists of terms, FAQs, and tips.
Step 1: Tips List
Open the tips list file. Each paragraph starts with an inserted title followed by a colon, for example 'Rencana Rute', then the explanation. Currently, the inserted title is not distinguished from the explanatory text.
Step 2: Inserted Character Style
Create a character style named 'sisipan' containing bold and orange color. This style will be automatically applied by the nested style.
Step 3: Drop Caps and Nested Styles
Double-click the paragraph style 'tips' in the Paragraph Styles panel. Select the drop caps and nested style category. Click new nested style. A rule line appears containing the name of the character style and its condition.
Step 4: Rule through Colon
Set this line to 'sisipan true 1.2'. This means the 'sisipan' character style is applied from the beginning of the paragraph up to and including the first colon. Check preview, all inserted titles are now bold and orange.
Step 5: Automatically When Edited
Click OK then change one of the inserted titles, for example 'Rencana Rute' to 'Rencana Perjalanan'. The bold part automatically adjusts up to the new colon. No need to reformat.
Step 6: Rule Based on Word
In addition to characters, rules can also be based on the number of words or sentences. For example, 'sisipan true 2 words' will bold the first two words. Select the rule that best fits your text pattern.
Done!
Done. We have created the 'sisipan' character style. Adding a nested style to a paragraph style option, using the true two dot rule, and viewing the format automatically adjusted. In the next episode, we'll use the grab style to format text patterns like prices and phone numbers. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
