      I want to control size and baseline shift of slash or special character in a content/paragraph. I setup paragraph style, but I want style for slash different to text style setup. It will be helpful if I can make them in 1 paragraph style. How can I do this? Is there any good tutorial/course I should take a look at? Thanks!

      I’m not sure I understand the question. Do you want a custom baseline shift and font size on all slash symbols (/) and other special characters?

      If that’s the case, visit the GREP Styles panel of the Paragraph Styles box and APPLY STYLE: Custom Character Style (that inlcudes the baseline shift, etc.) to the “/”. If there’s a shortlist of characters, place them all between angles brackets (without commas) in the TO TEXT box like so:

      Apply Style: Baseline Character Style
      To Text: [/&^%+$]

      Thank you so much.
      Yes, that’s the answer for my question. It’s really helpful.

      Too late to edit my answer (above) but: “angle brackets” should have read “SQUARE brackets” — as displayed in the example.

      Glad I could help.
