Note: Using a divider between paragraphs splits text into separate components. This affects the rendering of dropCapStyle. If you want to include a divider between paragraphs and you don’t want the paragraph after the divider to have a drop cap, use separate text components for the block of text before and after the divider. Then make sure that you don’t have dropCapStyle in the text component following the divider.

You can use this object in TextStyle and ComponentTextStyle.
