Character tags allow you to format one or more characters
or words inside a paragraph. By applying character tags, you can
quickly format text without overriding the properties of the entire
paragraph. Creating character tags helps maintain format consistency
as well as apply format changes globally. Character tags also serve
as building blocks for other FrameMaker features, such as cross-reference
formats or variables.

formats. All character formats are listed in the character catalog.

paragraph tag are preserved.
