Hi,
 
Welcome to the list.
 
I'll try to explain what Codes and Styles are.
 
A Code is basically an instruction which performs a specific task.  For example 
the code [sk2] will skip two lines in a document.
 
A Style on the other hand, tends to refer to the overall appearance of 
something, and may involve one or more codes.  For example, the Duxbury Style 
"h1." is a Heading.  This usually starts on a new page, is centered, and has a 
blank line after it.
 
As a musician yourself, you might compare this to musical notes being the Code, 
and the way in which the music is played as being the Style.
 
Kindest regards,

Dear Lister,
I am a blind student in Viet Nam. I am a new member of the list it is sure that 
Duxbury still has many things for me to study.
  Can someone explain me what is the code and the style? In Winbraille, I heard 
that it could create some rule files for other languages. Is Duxbury possible 
like Winbraille? I am looking for you.
Regards,
Hoai Phuc
