§ 4.184 - [s] Built-In

Mnemonic aid: s styleName

See also:  [s styleName] )

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} .

1. 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.
2. 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} 
3. 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.

Other built-ins used here:  [s styleName] )
