Swarup is on a distinguished road
Default

The settings that I have established system wide are the page size, margin sizes, and first line indent. The line spacing within paragraphs is set at the default of 1.15, but each and every Hindi paragraph I have reset to 1.25 spacing by direct formatting. Then there is the punctuation: all the punctuation (comma, single inverted comma, double inverted comma, parenthesis, square bracket, question mark) had to be set via direct formatting for all the Hindi text as the default characters in that Nirmala font were not proper. Other factors in that font were good, which was the reason for its selection. This is all in addition to the font type and size difference already mentioned. I do not think there will be a way to systematize these differences via styles especially given the degree of mixed language paragraphs.

The footnotes also required directed formatting which could not be done via styles as for example the number in the text reference and the number below in the footnote are by default the same font and size and by my online search there was not a way to set them as different.

All told there is a huge, huge amount of direct formatting in this book which has taken thousands of hours and it is not going to be amenable to system wide settings via styles.

If you think that by my uploading some paragraphs some solution may be achieved, then I can do that.
