Rule used to justify text in a paragraph. Default value is FormatValue.AUTO, which justifies text based on the paragraph's locale property. For all languages except Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO becomes JustificationRule.SPACE, which adds extra space to the space characters. For Japanese and Chinese, FormatValue.AUTO becomes JustficationRule.EAST_ASIAN. In part, justification changes the spacing of punctuation. In Roman text the comma and Japanese periods take a full character's width but in East Asian text only half of a character's width. Also, in the East Asian text the spacing between sequential punctuation marks becomes tighter, obeying traditional East Asian typographic conventions. Note, too, in the example below the leading that is applied to the second line of the paragraphs. In the East Asian version, the last two lines push left. In the Roman version, the second and following lines push left.

Legal values are JustificationRule.EAST_ASIAN, JustificationRule.SPACE, FormatValue.AUTO, FormatValue.INHERIT.

Controls which of the ligatures that are defined in the font may be used in the text. The ligatures that appear for each of these settings is dependent on the font. A ligature occurs where two or more letter-forms are joined as a single glyph. Ligatures usually replace consecutive characters sharing common components, such as the letter pairs 'fi', 'fl', or 'ae'. They are used with both Latin and Non-Latin character sets. The ligatures enabled by the values of the LigatureLevel class - MINIMUM, COMMON, UNCOMMON, and EXOTIC - are additive. Each value enables a new set of ligatures, but also includes those of the previous types.

Specifies the tab stops associated with the paragraph. Setters can take an array of TabStopFormat, a condensed string representation, undefined, or FormatValue.INHERIT. The condensed string representation is always converted into an array of TabStopFormat.

The string-based format is a list of tab stops, where each tab stop is delimited by one or more spaces.

A tab stop takes the following form: <alignment type><alignment position>|<alignment token>.

The alignment type is a single character, and can be S, E, C, or D (or lower-case equivalents). S or s for start, E or e for end, C or c for center, D or d for decimal. The alignment type is optional, and if its not specified will default to S.

The alignment position is a Number, and is specified according to FXG spec for Numbers (decimal or scientific notation). The alignment position is required.

The vertical bar is used to separate the alignment position from the alignment token, and should only be present if the alignment token is present.

The alignment token is optional if the alignment type is D, and should not be present if the alignment type is anything other than D. The alignment token may be any sequence of characters terminated by the space that ends the tab stop (for the last tab stop, the terminating space is optional; end of alignment token is implied). A space may be part of the alignment token if it is escaped with a backslash (\ ). A backslash may be part of the alignment token if it is escaped with another backslash (\\). If the alignment type is D, and the alignment token is not specified, it will take on the default value of null.
