  • Outline level: Define the heading level of that paragraph (e.g. heading 1, heading 2...). This is used to define the topic's inline table of contents.
  • Keep lines together: Paragraph is exported on one page, if possible
  • Keep with next: Paragraph is exported on the same page as the next paragraph, if possible
  • Widow/orphan control: Prevents page breaks after the first line and before the last line of the paragraph
