Paragraph styles through plugin API?

[Jesse Barnum-2]

I see where I can get the character styles of an fmx::Text object,  
but I see no way to retrieve paragraph styles, such as whether it's  
left-, center-, or right-aligned. Am I missing something?

Nope. :(

Although, I think the information is included in the return from
GetAsCSS in the most recent versions of FMP.  So, if you know the name
of the  field, you can Evaluate it with GetAsCSS and extract it.

HTH,
Jake

Thanks Jake - that saves me a bunch of time trying to figure out what  
I'm doing wrong!
