In the online style property guides, what does the ref number refer to. Is there a more detailed style guide document?

Hi,

That's the program reference number to the particular property. I have something I put here to 'explain' what different things were, the ones I know, or could figure out. What more detail do you want?

Not sure what more detail, i want actually. It's just that some properties have little info and others more that led me to wonder if there was a more comprehensive reference document somewhere. If these reference numbers mean something only to Milonic internals then I'd suggest they not be used in external documents as it's of no value and just makes us think we should be looking for more information.

Hi,

I will mention it to Milonic. I think that some users who are more knowledgeable about programming use those numbers in creating things to use with the menu, or in creating functions to get it to do certain things. Not my field of knowledge at all

All properties (menu, style and menuitem) go inside arrays and are referenced from the arrays. We used arrays over objects because it helped keep the file sizes down.

Anyway, the reference number you see in the property guides indicates the array slot where that property can be found.
