<para>A <emphasis>framestyle</emphasis> is a predefined set of frameset formatting options which is given a name. Once a frameset

has been assigned a framestyle, any changes made to the framestyle will be reflected in all framesets which are

assigned that framestyle.</para>

<tip><para>You may be noticing that framestyles function in a way similar to <emphasis>text styles</emphasis>. The main difference, is

framestyles control the look of the frame, and textstyles control the look of paragraphs within the frame.</para></tip>
