# Marked styles ([[style]] markers)

> The [[markers]] Inspect found at the start of paragraphs, and what each becomes.

**Why it's flagged.** Inspect found `[[marker]]` text at the start of a paragraph, the way to ask for a style when your editor can't hold one. A marker the factory recognizes is applied and removed in the build. A marker it doesn't recognize, and that isn't declared in your transmittal, prints exactly as you typed it.

**How serious.** Just noting when the marker is recognized (it shows what it becomes); Worth a look when it isn't.

**How to fix it.** In any editor:

1. Recognized markers: nothing to do. Check the finding says the style you meant.
2. Unrecognized: in the full report, **fix here** lets you treat the marker as a factory style (pick one and choose **Save**); the build rewrites it every time. Or fix the spelling in your file, using a name from [Send your manuscript](send-your-manuscript.md), or declare the name as a custom style in the transmittal.
3. To cover several paragraphs, close the run with the matching end marker, like `[[/code block]]`.

Image-size markers such as `[[figure half]]` or `[[figure as placed]]` aren't style markers, so they aren't listed here. Inspect shows them as each image's size under *Images*.
