find.find, find.next and find.change take findFormat {charStyle?,
paraStyle?, chars?}: only matches whose text has the format all through
are found, and with an empty find, each stretch of text with it (the
longest runs, one per paragraph). Resolved attributes are compared to
within rounding; unknown styles and attributes are refused. A changed
Find Format restarts Find Next.
The dialog has InDesign's Find Format box above Change Format, with its
ⓘ beside Find what; Find Format Settings is the Change Format Settings
dialog opened for finding. Found in the Learn Skills Daily course,
chapter 22.

find.change takes a Change Format: charStyle and paraStyle as well as
the character attributes (attrs) it took. With a Change Format and an
empty change, the found text stays and is only formatted, as InDesign
does; without one an empty change still deletes. The style-apply code of
style.paragraph.apply / style.character.apply moves into helpers that
find.change shares.
The Find/Change dialog has InDesign's Change Format box, with Specify
Attributes (opening Change Format Settings over Find/Change: Style
Options, then the character sections of Character Style Options) and
Clear. An info icon beside Change to says an empty Change to keeps the
text. Found in the Learn Skills Daily course, chapter 22.

New Character Style with text selected starts from what the text has of
its own over its paragraph style (its character style's attributes and
its overrides), as InDesign's "[None] + Bold + color", and Apply Style to
Selection (on) gives the text the new style with no override left. A new
style's dialog is titled New Paragraph Style / New Character Style.
type.selectionAttrs reports the text's own character attributes as
ownChars. Found in the Learn Skills Daily course, chapter 22.

A tab draws nothing, so it was left out of the underline and strikethrough
bars: they stopped at the last letter before each tab and began again after it.
Forms rule their fill-in lines with underlined tabs — `Name ⇥⇥⇥⇥, city ⇥⇥⇥⇥` —
so an imported form lost every writing line, and an IDML `Underline="true"` on
a run of tabs drew nothing at all.
A tab is a character with an advance, and InDesign rules its whole width.
`PlacedGlyph::spans_rules` says which glyphs a rule runs across: the drawn
ones, and a tab or a right-indent tab that advances. The spaces a line break
trimmed off the end, the break characters and the markers' carriers are not
part of the line's text and are still skipped, so an underline stops at the
text and not at the frame edge.
Both places that draw the bars from the glyphs use it: the renderer
(`build_line`) and the PDF export (`text_rules`). The HTML and PPTX exports
mark up runs of text, which already included their tabs.
Measured on the repro in the issue, a 420×120 pt page at 2×:
before one underline, 63 px: the word "Name"
now three, 63 + 219 + 231 px: the word and both tab stretches
and the exported PDF gains the two fills for them. A tab with a leader is one
continuous bar across the leader dots to the right-aligned text after it.
Tests: the renderer's bars and the PDF export's bars for "Name<tab>City" are
one bar covering the tab's width, not two with a gap where it is. Both fail
without the change (two bars, 36→67.7 and 72→93.2, the tab's 67.7–72 unruled).
The Properties buttons and Type > Bulleted & Numbered Lists > Apply Bullets /
Apply Numbers (list.bullets, list.numbers) apply the list with Left Indent
0.25 in / First Line Indent -0.25 in when the paragraph has no indents, so the
text lines up after the bullet; pressed again, the list and that indent go.

Resolve documentation conflicts while preserving upstream updates and the PR's German 2006 implementation. Validation: formatting, PDF dependency check, workspace Clippy, asset attribution, layering and German composition tests pass. Full CI reaches four existing Windows/path-related engine test failures in unchanged upstream files.
- English (and Auto where offered) stays first as the source language and fallback; the rest sort by native name with accents folded, so Čeština is under C and Magyar under M; Cyrillic and CJK names follow the Latin ones
- The list used the registry order, which is the order the languages were added
The corner-to-corner X is for rectangles (slanted or not): four corner points without handles,
on a Rectangle or Path item. An ellipse frame (four smooth anchors) and a four-sided polygon (a
diamond) would otherwise get a plus through their centre; they keep the X across their bounds.

New Paragraph Style with text selected starts from it, as InDesign's: Based On [No Paragraph
Style] and every setting of the text that differs from it, with Apply Style to Selection (on), so
OK gives the paragraph the new style. General has Next Style ([Same style] or a style) and Reset
To Base (the style keeps nothing of its own; edits made in the dialog still apply). Basic
Character Formats is laid out in two columns as InDesign's: the font, then Size | Leading,
Kerning | Tracking, Case | Position.
style.paragraph.edit honours nextStyle (string, or null for [Same style]); it was described but
ignored. It takes resetToBase.

A paragraph rule has InDesign's Type: solid, the thick/thin stripes, dashed, dotted, straight hash,
wavy, or a stroke style of the document. Composition draws it as that shape in the rule's box
(dashes and dots as boxes and circles, stripes, waves and hashes as their outlines), with Gap
Color and Gap Tint underneath; a pattern that can't be laid out draws solid. Keep In Frame keeps a
rule above the first line of a frame inside the frame.
The Paragraph Rules page (paragraph style options and the Paragraph Rules dialog) is laid out as
InDesign's: Weight and Type, Color and Tint, Gap Color and Gap Tint, Width and Offset, Left and
Right Indent, Keep In Frame. IDML reads and writes RuleAboveType/RuleBelowType, the gap colour and
tint, and KeepRuleAboveInFrame. A rule's new settings at their defaults stay out of the JSON.

The dialog follows InDesign's: General, Column Rules, Baseline Options, Auto-Size; on General,
framed Columns (Number and Width, Gutter and Maximum, Balance Columns), Inset Spacing (Top and
Bottom, the link, Left and Right) and Vertical Justification (Align, Paragraph Spacing Limit),
with spinner fields. With Fixed Number, Width shows each column's width as the number, gutter
and insets change.
Preview shows the options on the page while the dialog is open (redone as fields change); Cancel
puts the frames back, OK sets them once as one undo step.
Vertical Justification › Justify honours the Paragraph Spacing Limit: the extra space goes
between paragraphs, up to the limit each, and what is left spreads over every line (all of it,
with no limit, as before). object.textFrameOptions takes it as paragraphSpacingLimit.

A shows the Character Formatting Controls: font and style, size and leading, All Caps,
Superscript, Underline / Small Caps, Subscript, Strikethrough, kerning and tracking, vertical and
horizontal scale, baseline shift and skew, the character style and the language. ¶ shows the
Paragraph Formatting Controls: the nine alignments, left and first line indents, right and last
line indents, space before and after, the drop cap's lines and characters, the paragraph style,
Hyphenate and Align to Baseline Grid. The fields' icons carry their names (tooltip and
accessibility). It used to show a fixed mix of both.

Character's ••• shows vertical and horizontal scale, baseline shift, skew, language and
OpenType (the Typography panel), and the All Caps, Small Caps, Superscript, Subscript,
Underline and Strikethrough buttons. Paragraph's ••• shows the left, right, first line and last
line indents, space before and after, the drop cap's lines and characters, Align to Baseline Grid
and Hyphenate. ••• again folds the section. It used to open the Character or Paragraph panel.
The language field moves under •••, where InDesign has it. New icons for the scales, baseline
shift, skew, indents, spacing and drop caps; widgets::checkbox and ••• report their labels to
accessibility.

As InDesign's Effects dialog › Blending › Mode: the shadows start Multiply
and the outer glow Screen in white; the renderer blends each with what's
behind it, the commands take mode, IDML reads and writes the drop shadow's
BlendMode. Effects saved before read Normal, as they were drawn.
