: Adobe InDesign: Hidden/non-printing forward slash-markings I just came across a (to me) strange phenomena which I can't explain nor find an explanation for via Google. When editing a text, there

The hidden slash character in InDesign indicates "End Nested Style Here".

You can apply a character style to a specified number of lines in a paragraph. As with nested styles, you can set up two or more nested line styles to work together, and you can create a repeating sequence.

Attributes applied by nested line styles can co-exist with attributes applied by nested styles. For example, a nested line style can apply a color while a nested style can apply italics. If both set conflicting settings of the same attribute, such as red and blue, the nested style takes precedence over the nested line style.
