I'm having trouble figuring out the language expected by format/publish to
control styles.  I see a few examples such as
FONTP=: 'sans 10 bold'
ALIGNV=: 'top'
MARGIN=: 10 20 10 15

at http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Publish/Styles, but I'm having trouble
seeing how to extend these.  I checked the list archives but didn't see
anything.

For example, is there a listing of all the various upper-case nouns that I
can set and the values to which they can be set?  Are there other examples
showing how to apply those styles other than demo and demo1?  How can I
find that out?

I do see a list starting with

defineindex''
BOLD
ITALIC
)

and ending with the definition of opts about 50-60 lines later, but it's
not telling me, for example, how I might set a landscape format except for
the tempting existence of PORT and LAND, but I don't quite know what to do
with them.

Thanks,

Bill

PS: reportlab looks tempting, too, but it seems a shame to leave the J
idiom for this, unless there's a reportlab interface to J.
