# Format - style

A style definition consists of:

- a floating point value for the horizontal alignment.
- a floating point value for the vertical alignment.
- a floating point value for the font width.
- a floating point value for the font height.
- a floating point value for the left margin.
- a floating point value for the top margin.
- a floating point value for the right margin.
- a floating point value for the bottom margin.
- a color, being the text color.
- a color, being the background color.
- a color, being the draw color.
- 8 bits being the metric for the font width and height.
- 8 bits being the metric for the margin sizes.
- 1 bit for the bold flag.
- 1 bit for the italics flag.
- 1 bit for the underline flag.
- 1 bit for the strike flag.

Next, we have a warp.

Kate bitstream 0.2 makes use of this warp to add:

- 1 bit for the justify flag.
- a variable length integer, followed by this number of bytes being a name of a font to use for text using this style.

Kate bitstream 0.6 makes further use of this warp to add:

- a metadata set.

Next, the data ends.
