§ 4.183  - [s] Built-InMnemonic aid: s for Style
See also:  [ghost] ,  [glos] ,  [gstyle] ,  [listg] ,  [locs] ,  [spage]  and  [style] 
Also, there is more information on styles beginning here.
This built-in invokes a style.  [s styleName]  is functionally the same syntax as using  {styleName} .
There are three differences beyond  [s styleName]  being slightly more wordy than  {stylename} .

You can create two levels of processing; a level where only { and } are accepted but not [ or ], and therefore no new macros can be defined, nor can any of the powerful lower level built-ins be invoked. That creates an environment where you can define the macros, but users can only use them.

When using  {styleName} , the style names are fixed, they can't be defined by your code. But when using  [s styleName] , the styleName is a parameter, so you can fill it in programmatically if you like, for instance, from a variable. This can provide additional flexibility. Also, since one style can call another, you can bury a use of  [s styleName]  under a use of  {styleName} 

When using the form  {styleName content} , you can separate the styleName from the content by either a space or a newline. It is strictly a cosmetic difference.

[s (help=styleHelp,)(help2=styleHelp2,)stylename (styleContent)]

[style help=content,help2=makes the content bold,boldenx <b>[b]</b>]
[style help=content,help2=italicizes the content,italex <i>[b]</i>]
[style dstyle [ls]<abbr title="[helps2 [b]]">[b] [helps [b]]</abbr>[rs]]
[s boldenx foo]
{italex bar}
[local mystyle boldenx]
[s [v mystyle] pretty bold, eh?]
In the lines below, hover mouse over stylename at left:
