pardef (Domino DTD)

Represents explicit style information for a paragraph. Use this element with the <par> element, which represents a paragraph. You define the paragraph style once and give it an id using the pardef element, then reference that id in the def attribute of a par element to apply the specified style to a paragraph. Using the pardef element enables you to define the style once and reference it throughout the DXL, rather than having to redefine a style for each paragraph.
