font-size: <measure>

Defines the font size of the text. Most common unit is points, so it can be used like:

para {
    font-size: "12pt";
}

font-family: <name>

Defines the font used to render the text. Currently only the default PDF fonts are supported, which are:

• serif
• sans-serif
• monospace
• Symbol
• ZapfDingbats

The option can be used like:

para {
    font-family: "sans-serif";
}

font-weight: <weight>

The font weight defines whether a font is printed bold or normal. Unlike CSS for now only two possible values are supported: bold and normal. Some drivers might support additional values, though. Usage:

emphasis {
    font-weight: "bold";
}

font-style: <style>

The font style property defines the style of the printed text. The possible values are normal and italic. Usage:

emphasis {
    font-style: "italic";
}

text-align: <align>

The text alignment defines the alignment of text inside a text block. The supported values are:

• left
• right
• center
• justified

It can be used like:

para {
    text-align: "justified";
}

If you are using justified text alignment you should also configure a meaningful hyphenator.

line-height: <float>

The line height configures the space between two lines in the rendered output. A line height of 1.4 is generally considered most readable. You can configure a different line height, like:

para {
    line-height: "1.2";
}

text-columns: <int>

Number of text columns printed on one page. Obviously not available in common CSS. Usage:

article {
    text-columns: "2";
}

text-column-spacing: <measure>

Spacing between text columns, defined as a common measure. Usage:

article {
    text-column-spacing: "10mm";
}

orphans: <int>

Orphans are the dangling lines at the end of a page. This settings configures how many dangling lines are considered orphans and therefore moved to the next page. Set to 0 for no line moving. Usage:

article {
    orphans: "3";
}

widows: <int>

Widows are the dangling lines at the beginning of a page from a paragraph of the page before. This setting configures how many lines a page should at least contain, so that the lines are not considered widows any more and no additional lines are required to be shifted from the page before. Usage:

article {
    widows: "3";
}

page-size: <size>

Defines the size of pages. Uses a number of common page size identifiers as valid values for size definitions, which are: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, B0, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, RA0, RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, SRA0, SRA1, SRA2, SRA3, SRA4, LETTER, LEGAL, EXECUTIVE, FOLIO. This setting applies only to the virtual page element, like:

page {
    page-size: "A4";
}

page-orientation: <orientation>

Defines the orientation of a page. There are only two valid values for this setting: landscape and portrait. This setting applies only to the virtual page element, like:

page {
    page-orientation: "portrait";
}

margin: <measure> [<measure> [<measure> [<measure> ]]]

Margin defines the outer space of some element. Like in CSS the number of values defines the meaning of the values. The meanings are:

1 value

Used for top, right, bottom and left margin.

2 values

First value is used for top and bottom margin, second is used for left and right margin.

3 values

First value is used for top margin, second is used for left and right margin, the third is used for bottom margin.

4 values

First value defines the top, second the right, third the bottom, and fourth the left margin.

Different units may be combined, like:

para {
    // Top margin: 12 mm; Right margin: .1 inch; Bottom margin: 10 points,
    // Left margin: 1 pixel
    margin: "12 .1in 10pt 1px";
}

padding: <measure> [<measure> [<measure> [<measure> ]]]

Padding defines additional inner space inside of the borders of an element. The values are defined just like for margins. Usage:

para {
    padding: "12 1px";
}
