Style-at-point is useful for formatting but one thing I like about both scrivener and org-mode is how little emphasis is placed on interfaces for styles. Instead you focus on content. Libreoffice doesn't have anything like the "synopsis" property that scrivener associates with document nodes -- mostly I guess because the document model is quite different. m
