Syntax
public class ParagraphStyle : DocumentStyle, IDocumentStyle, IParagraphStyle

ParagraphStyle collects the formatting that applies to a whole paragraph, the bullets, spacing, indentation, and alignment a developer sets once and reuses across slides. It is the object assigned to a Paragraph through its Style property, so the look of a block of text is configured in one place instead of scattered across individual settings. It is the paragraph-level counterpart to the run and text styles that format inline content.

Build one with new ParagraphStyle() and set its properties, usually with an object initializer, then assign it to paragraph.Style. Because the style is a separate object, the same ParagraphStyle can be applied to several paragraphs to keep a list or a body of slides consistent, which is the usual reason to define it on its own rather than inline. It derives from the shared DocumentStyle base, so it carries the common styling behavior the presentation's style objects share while adding the paragraph-specific settings.

The bullet and spacing properties carry the everyday settings. Bullet, an IBullet, defines a custom bullet such as a picture or colored mark, while NoBullet turns bullets off. Alignment takes a TextAlignmentTypeValues for horizontal alignment, and Indent, LineSpacing, SpaceBefore, and SpaceAfter are DocUnit measurements that control the paragraph's spacing and indentation. ContextualSpacing and RightToLeft are nullable flags for contextual spacing and right-to-left layout, left unset until a paragraph needs them.

using IronPPT.Models;

var style = new ParagraphStyle
{
    Alignment = TextAlignmentTypeValues.Center,
    NoBullet = true,
    SpaceAfter = 15,
};

The paragraph style example sets these properties end to end, the customized bullet point example configures the bullet, and the add text how-to covers the surrounding text.
