# Property Test

A content element may have several properties. A style, in fact, is simply a collection of properties controlling the look to apply to text (e.g. font size, font weight, margins, etc.). Style information is not the only source of properties. FrameMaker markers and condition (as in conditional text) also appear as properties of the element. All properties can be checked from a rule's condition using the property test.
