Sets the global style of paragraphs in the document. If a value is unset, the default value supplied by the underlying renderer is used.

The default values may also be affected by the current document locale, set via docLanguage. For instance, the Chinese `zh` locale prefers a 2em indentation and no vertical spacing by default.
