To the contrary, we are talking about Character / Paragraph styles here. The "Highlighter" is intended as kind of "color map" that allows you to see *where* are the bounds of differently-formatted parts of text, while "Inspector" should show you which are the specific properties applied at a given *point* (cursor position) coming from various levels. > Also there's a part of Direct Formatting in the Style Inspector, which > overrides both Character and Paragraph Styles, So Basically what we are > viewing currently in the document is the Direct Formatted Style and all > other applied styles have been overshadowed.

Of course every level should show every applied setting (it might require collapsing/expanding to be manageable). > Currently I am focusing on the Styles Inspector part.
