<para> @style Types¶
Note
Numbered <para> @style Attributes
Some @style attributes include an optional numeric variable, which is represented in this documentation by a hash character (#). In USX the attribute number indicates:
A portion of a complete element, or relative weighting of the “pieces” of the elements, such as mt1, mt2, mt3 which are all parts of a major title.
The level of division (hierarchy).
The level of indentation relative to other like elements, as in poetry (q#) or lists (li#) or outlines (io#).
style = style1 — The unnumbered version of a style attribute may be used when only one level of this paragraph style exists within the project text. Numbers should always be included when more than one level of the paragraph style exists within the project text.

Note
About toc1, toc2, toc3
The metadata.xml file within a DBL text release bundle contains a bookNames element in which each scripture book is itemized together with child elements for its long, short and abbreviated forms. The bookNames element is the key location where this book naming metadata is contained within the bundle. USX para elements with attributes toc1, toc2, or toc3 are strictly optional data. Their presence in a USX file is valid, but reflects a legacy form of USFM markup in which the USFM files for each book were the key location for this book naming metadata.
